A MAYOR of a CITY who isn't ALREADY WEALTHY? Can you IMAGINE???
Who is Wilson? She does not own a car. She lives in a rented 600-square-foot apartment with her husband and two-year-old daughter. By her own account, she depends on checks from her parents back east to cover expenses. To let them off the hook, she seeks to force residents of Seattle to pay for “free” child care and other goodies. Fourteen years ago, after working odd jobs as a barista, baker, lab technician and legal assistant, Wilson co-founded an advocacy group called Transit Riders Union to agitate for better public transportation, paid for by new and higher taxes. She says she decided to challenge Mayor Bruce Harrell (D) earlier this year after he opposed a new tax on high earners to pay for housing construction. She campaigned on a local capital gains tax, a digital advertising tax and a statewide wealth tax.
