I think Erica’s analysis was pretty dead on. The negative campaigning worked. Voters have different expectations of executives than of legislators, and Wilson had $2 million of negative ads & mailers attacking her lack of experience. Foster didn’t.

@lauraloeseattle.bsky.social taught an excellent workshop to our tenants association the other evening (a tenants org that @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social actually had a role in helping establish back during the proposed renter-protection rollbacks!) Very excited for our city’s future!
…perfect timing to be working on public bathroom themed letters to the editor with affordable housing residents when we finally have a renter mayor who will actually listen to them! @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social - I know you know we need public bathrooms, especially near frequent transit.

And don’t forget the role restaurant owners play in trying to suppress the minimum wage
If you didn’t know, Seattle restaurant owners and consultants have been fighting against street food and food truck reforms for decades.
Our regulatory environment is why until now, Seattle has not really developed a street food culture like Portland (or many other cities).

With unpermitted food vendors proliferating in King County, Washington restaurateurs are calling on the county and state to get more aggressive to deter them.

Congratulations to Mayor-Elect Katie Wilson. Someone so humble, dedicated, and truly influential. Congratulations to the people of Seattle. You deserve an Executive that cares about each and every one of you, and you've now got one. I'm so happy for you.

And "women ruined the workplace," per the New York Times last week.
I don't take anyone seriously when they talk about the founding fathers with some kind of reverence, or when they pretend these men were privy to some novel wisdom unique to their time.
Thomas Jefferson was 44 when he started in creeping on 14-year-old Sally Hemings. And Sally, who was enslaved, shared a father with Martha Wayles Jefferson—Tom's wife.
He's been dead literally centuries and the US refuses to reckon squarely with what this meant for definitions of American greatness

Look, her plans are great and I want them to succeed, but the basic fact that she is also raising a child here under the same conditions and stresses we are makes her eminently qualified on its own imo. For Seattle to work, it needs to work for families, period.
Wilson was mocked for acknowledging that the cost of childcare is outrageous and her parents help her with that expense. But it turns out a majority of voters feel the same squeeze, liked her universal childcare plan, and voted accordingly.
Katie Wilson wins Seattle mayoral race, incumbent Bruce Harrell appears to be preparing to concede
The exciting race for Mayor of Seattle can now be called. With almost no ballots left to count, challenger Katie Wilson has an advantage that incumbent Bruce Harrell cannot overcome.

Feels weird to have a non-Irish mayor. And before you say something about Bruce, I am 100% sure he lied to the Kiwanis that he was part Irish back in 1996, which technically makes him the most Irish mayor we’ve ever had.

I’m thankful for brave women like Lindsey Boylan in NY and Monisha Harrell in Seattle.
They stood up to men in power, held them accountable, didn’t relent, and helped defeat them. All at great personal cost.

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Blowing off Andrea Suarez is one of the few things that Bruce Harrell did as mayor that I think was objectively based.
(Seattle politics skeet incoming) Andrea Suarez is very insistent that the reason Harrell is about to lose is because he never gave her a key to the city
