Seattle Elects Democratic Socialist Mayor on Affordability Platform
In a notable victory for progressives, Katie Wilson, a Democratic socialist, is projected to become Seattle’s next mayor, narrowly defeating incumbent Bruce Harrell. Wilson’s campaign prioritized affordability in the West Coast city, ultimately leading to a shift in votes as postal ballots were counted. This win follows Zohran Mamdani’s recent success in New York and is considered another positive development for the progressive wing of the Democratic party. Wilson’s campaign expressed gratitude for the grassroots support that propelled her to this projected victory.
