There are about 8,000 ballots left to count.

To be fair, according to actuarial tables, these senators don’t have a lot of holiday seasons left and they REALLY don’t want to give one up for something silly like making life better for millions of people.

Tbh, the KUOW story did give me an inaccurate impression of the facts. That Wilson's parents started helping with daycare costs this year, specifically due to Wilson's mayoral campaign, seems relevant to me and was left out of the original version that I read.
Bruce Harrell’s campaign is using a KUOW story to paint Katie Wilson as secretly rich. The problem? It isn’t true. Her parents only started helping with childcare this year, not her bills, and KUOW has since added context after refusing to correct the piece.
