What can we learn from all that? Listen to people and then go to bat for them. If we do that, we’ll keep winning and be able to deliver lower costs, safer communities, and get rid of the corruption in Washington.

And finally, the candidates who won were running AGAINST people endorsed by Donald Trump. Like seriously, all of them. Americans are sick of tariffs raising their costs while he focuses on renovating bathrooms in the White House.

Second, they were clear that they’d put their constituents first, not a political party and not big donors. These are leaders and fighters who want to actually get stuff done. Americans are tired of excuses and politics as usual that don’t work for them.

First, the candidates who won were laser focused on addressing the rising costs facing families. They were LISTENING to what voters were telling them. They had real plans to lower child care, utility, and health care costs. And they were all in on making life more affordable.

A lot of people have been asking me all day what yesterday’s election results tell us. Every state and community is different, but as someone who has won a couple tough elections, there are a few things that stuck out to me.

Eight months ago, Katie Wilson declared her intention to run and all the conventional powers-that-be said she didn't stand a chance of winning.

Remember that we don't always know what is possible.
Wilson now leads in the Seattle mayoral race by 91 votes. Prior to today, Harrell had been leading by 4,300 votes, but this latest vote batch netted Wilson 4,391 votes.

Like, you have to sign a form and then mail it in. I'm going to guess if it's super close there will also be groups canvassing to help voters cure their ballots, but definitely don't count on that.

Also, if you don't hear from your auditor but your ballot was rejected, you should call them.

Most of the ballots I've helped cure, it's because someone forgot to sign the return envelope, the signature didn't match what they have on file, or multiple people in a household voted and signed someone else's return envelope. It's generally a pretty easy fix.

You should receive a letter in the mail from your county's auditor that includes a form to "cure" your ballot, i.e. make whatever correction it is that's needed. I believe my county also calls or emails if we include that information on our return envelope.

If your ballot status says that it's been challenged or rejected, you should be hearing from your auditor's office (if you haven't already). Here's an explanation of what that means: www.sos.wa.gov/elections/da...

I've helped cure ballots a few times so I'm chiming in!

If you vote at a Seattle address, check your ballot status at voter.votewa.gov.

Your ballot status will be on the homepage after you log in. If it says accepted, your vote has already been counted. You're fine.

Seattle's Mamdani is winning by an absurdly small margin over our incumbent mayor, who once pulled a gun on a pregnant woman in a parking lot.

I just ate at Taki’s Mad Greek in Seattle and let me tell you this place is a vibe lol

The food is excellent and you should come support this family-owned and run small business (I ate way too much and didn’t take any food pics and regret many choices except coming here)

And here we go again 😉
Another Socialist running for mayor (Seattle) is looking like they'll beat the incumbent centrist Democrat.

Let's go Katie! 😀
Progressive activist Katie Wilson has pulled ahead of incumbent Bruce Harrell for the first time in the Seattle mayor's race, but the election remains too close to call. Results released Monday afternoon show Wilson leading by 91 votes.
Wilson takes a razor-thin lead in Seattle mayor's race
