Danny Espinosa has been a key contributor to the Nationals since his first promotion from the minor leagues late in the 2010 season. He has played 390 games for Washington, most of them at second base. But on Tuesday he was absent, a glaring void next to his normal spot alongside teammate Ian Desmond’s stall.

ay What’s the Way Forward for Seattle’s Left? By www.thestranger.com Published On :: Fri, 01 Nov 2024 14:38:00 -0700 In between playing defense and scheming to win back Seattle’s voters over the next few election cycles, we should carve out some time for self-reflection. It’s tempting to think of the present moment as a backlash against progress, a temporary deviation in the arc of the moral universe—or perhaps, for the pessimist, to doubt the notion of progress altogether. But was this reaction really inevitable? by Katie Wilson It’s a trying time for Seattle’s left. The city’s new council members are rounding the curve on their first year in office, and I don’t know about you, but I’m wishing it was time to pass the baton. It’s depressing enough that City Hall is no longer a laboratory for progressive policy innovation. But it’s the Bad Idea Whac-A-Mole that’s truly exhausting: rolling back minimum wages and renter protections; defunding community-driven development; reinstating so-called SOAP and SODA zones; turning our big business tax into a slush fund. The left is having to fight like hell just to defend the achievements of the past decade. In between playing defense and scheming to win back Seattle’s voters over the next few election cycles, we should carve out some time for self-reflection. It’s tempting to think of the present moment as a backlash against progress, a temporary deviation in the arc of the moral universe—or perhaps, for the pessimist, to doubt the notion of progress altogether. But was this reaction really inevitable? Can we draw any lessons from it? What should the left do differently in the future to regain influence and maintain it? Critics of progressive-left political culture, as it’s developed over the past dozen or so years, often emphasize its supposed impotence: its penchant for loudness on social media, insistence on ideological purity, and zeal for “canceling” individuals instead of changing systems. Its adherents operate mainly in the symbolic realm and can’t break out of their echo chamber long enough to affect the real world. Whatever the merits of this kind of critique, it doesn’t fully capture what’s happened in Seattle. Precisely what characterizes our city (and just a handful of others) is that the progressive left has been effective, relatively speaking, at winning real things. But our success is not due to some special organizing prowess or because we’ve avoided the pitfalls of the wider culture. It has more to do with our city’s demographic peculiarities. Over the past several decades, progressive politics have come to correlate ever more strongly with educational attainment, while “dealigning” from markers of working class status. The gradual replacement of old Seattle’s blue collar workforce, displaced by rising housing costs and the dwindling of maritime and industrial jobs, with the younger, more affluent tech worker set hasn’t made Seattle any less blue; perhaps the opposite. Add to that some political self-selection among new arrivals, and the average normie non-activist voter just happens to be a flaming lib. On top of all that, union density in Washington state is among the highest in the country, and when Seattle’s labor unions decide to throw their weight around in local elections, left-leaning candidates tend to get a leg up. With these advantages, Seattle’s left hasn’t had to be extraordinarily smart or strategic to win a modicum of political power. And a movement with power faces different problems than a movement in opposition. From the outside, it’s easy to lambaste the status quo and its obvious failings. But actually governing is more complicated. It means passing policies, implementing them, defending their results. It also means being vulnerable to blame for whatever’s going wrong in the city, whether or not it’s your fault or within your power to fix. Of course, even at its strongest, Seattle’s progressive left held only partial power—through a city council majority that was often undermined by more centrist mayors. In such circumstances, governing also means having to decide when to remain oppositional, and when to compromise and win what you can. Either way, you have to tell a good story, explaining what you’ve done and why you couldn’t do more, to avoid being seen as ineffective. All this means that the progressive predisposition of Seattle’s electorate is a trap, as well as an advantage. If it were harder to get lefties into office, that might force us to be more strategic about what they should do when they get there—and to build the kind of movement that can support them when the going gets rough. Winning power is one thing, holding it is another. Over the last two election cycles, the left lost it. The backlash began in 2021 with the victories of Mayor Bruce Harrell, Councilmember Sara Nelson, and City Attorney Ann Davison. Last fall finished the job, ushering in the most conservative city council Seattle has seen in a long time. In my new column for The Stranger, I plan to look both backward and forward. I’ll dig through the past ten-plus years in search of lessons that can help Seattle’s left into the future. I write as someone who’s been involved in many—though by no means all—of the progressive policy battles of this period, primarily through my work with the Transit Riders Union. But I’m speaking for myself, not for any organization, and I don’t expect that all my opinions will be popular. There is too much groupthink on the left; so let’s disagree! The backlash elections of 2021 and 2023 centered most obviously around the issues of homelessness, policing, and public safety. I will start the journey there, looking critically at the question of what our goals should be and how we frame and explain these goals. These are themes we share with other progressive big cities, but our politics have a unique side, too. No look back at the past decade of Seattle’s left can bypass an assessment of Kshama Sawant’s tenure on the council, and the influence of her former organization, Socialist Alternative. And these discussions will raise larger questions about progressive-left organizing. Who is “the left,” anyway, and does “progressive” mean anything anymore, if it ever did? Whom are we trying to organize and how? Toward what ends? The left is not a monolith. In practice, Seattle’s left today is an uneasy alliance of labor unions, community organizations from the long-established to the ad-hoc, issue-based advocacy groups, service-focused nonprofits, parties and other overtly political formations, and freelance activists, coalescing imperfectly and temporarily around specific campaigns or policy goals. Between and also within these entities there exists a multiplicity of worldviews, theories of social change, and visions of a future, better social order. When someone on the left (like me) talks about what “we” should be doing, only in the most abstract sense are they speaking to and about this whole constellation of actors. But throughout these institutions and broader left milieu there are individuals who, to a greater or lesser extent, can choose to do things differently, or to do something new. There is a gleam of light on the horizon. In next Tuesday’s special election for citywide council position 8, the left looks poised to claw back a seat. Next year will bring a larger opportunity, with the mayor and city attorney up for re-election as well as the two citywide council positions. But progressives won’t have a chance at a reliable governing majority until 2027. So let’s make sure that when we win that majority, we’re prepared to hold onto it. It’s easy to bemoan the hypocrisy of Seattle liberals, the reactionary and ungenerous impulses too often hiding behind those “in this house we believe” yard signs. I’ve done that myself. But if the left can’t maintain the edge in a city where your average voter is at pains to prove his progressive bona fides, what chance do we have at power anywhere? Full Article Katie Wilson
ay Slog AM: Election Day Is Tomorrow, Hope for Harris in Iowa, Washington GOP's Racist Campaign Texts By www.thestranger.com Published On :: Mon, 04 Nov 2024 08:46:00 -0800 The Stranger's morning news round-up. by Nathalie Graham Welcome to hell week: Somehow, it's here. The 2024 election is tomorrow. If you haven't mailed yours in yet, do it today. Better yet, drop your ballot in a ballot box. Please do not drop any incendiary devices in ballot boxes. Tell your friends to vote. Tell your enemies to vote. Vote like your life depends on it. Vote like someone else's life depends on it. Then, take a nap or something. Scene setting: Wind and weather are turbulent today. Everything is astir. ⚠️The next storm system will move into western WA Monday into Tuesday, bringing gusty winds, lowland rain, mountain snow, & high surf to the region. Details are highlighted below! — NWS Seattle (@NWSSeattle) November 3, 2024 To make everything worse: The sun is dead. It isn't coming back until spring. Say goodbye to long days. Go to an antique store and buy a lamp. I went to the Antique Mall of West Seattle this weekend and bought myself one. It's saving me. We all deserve soft, buttery warm light this winter. Starting tonight, the sun will set in the 4 pm hour every night until Jan. 25. Seattle area vampires, rejoice! ???? — Seattle Weather Blog (@KSeattleWeather) November 3, 2024 Iowaaaaat? Cross your fingers and hold your breath for this next part. The poll by respected pollster and possible soothsayer Ann Selzer commissioned by the Des Moines Register/Mediacom shows Vice President Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump 47% to 44% in Iowa. The state has voted staunchly red and resolutely for Trump. Back in June, Trump led President Joe Biden (before he decided he should lay down and take a nap instead of running for re-election) by 18 points. Even as recently as September, Trump led Harris in Iowa by 4 points. Apparently, the tables are turning and women are the ones doing the spinning. Particularly, older and independent women voters. Abortion is soooo on the ballot and Iowan women are not taking their futures lightly. If this poll is right, Harris wouldn't just win Iowa, she'd win it in a landslide. Trump says "actually, no:" Famous fact-lover Donald Trump says the Iowa poll is wrong and we are all mistaken. According to Trump, the truly accurate poll is the one from Emerson College that shows him up 53% to Harris' 43%. Someone who will not get to see if the Iowa poll is accurate: Music legend Quincy Jones died on Sunday. He was 91. Don't look a gift poll in the mouth: The knock-on-wood-worthy polling isn't just for national politics. In local news, a Northwest Progressive Institute poll found that in the Seattle City Council Position 8 race, Alexis Mercedes Rink leads incumbent Tanya Woo 52% to 28%. Remember how U2 slipped its album "Songs of Innocence" into everyone's iTunes libraries back in 2014? That's basically how it feels having the council-selected Woo, who knows nothing about anything, in a position of power. Seems as though Seattle is rejecting Woo the same way everyone rejected "Songs of Innocence"—moving her straight to the trash where we hopefully will never have to listen to her again. Not worried about the election? Must be nice. But, also maybe you should be. Gov. Jay Inslee clearly is. He signed a letter activating the National Guard in the event of civil unrest after the election. Washington State Gov.

Apparently, after removing Peanut, the DEC then euthanized him to "test for rabies." The squirrel who often donned tiny cowboy hats will only do so now from heaven. Rest easy, Peanut. Roaming police: City officials mysteriously placed Tacoma's police chief on a brief administrative leave back in September. Now, we know why. Chief Avery Moore was gabbing too much while on vacation. Moore racked up a $1,082 bill on his city-issued cellphone while he was in Sweden. Most of the charges appear to be international usage charges, but I like to imagine Moore couldn't stop gossiping on the phone while touring fjords. Work stoppage for NYT tech guild: The "over 600 software engineers, product managers, data analysts, and designers" keeping the New York Times website up and running went on strike at 12:01 this morning, in the latest attempt to win a union contract with the media company. The work stoppage comes at a pivotal time for the NYT; Election Day coverage on the ~newspaper of record~ requires a lot of tech. Maybe this squeeze will give these workers the contract they're asking for. In the meantime, don't cross the digital picket line. No Wordle. No Connections. Just solidarity.

They'll be taking legal action.

Should be a pretty nice day to stroll down to your nearest ballot box, with a high of 52 degrees and partly sunny, and a slight chance of rain after 2 p.m. So go vote! Don't let anything stop you. As Hannah said yesterday, you can still vote! I voted last year on the last possible day, and I hadn't registered yet at that point. I just jogged down to Lumen Field though and it was super easy to register, vote, and leave. Even if you're feeling left out because you're not in a swing state and the entirety of the country's future doesn't rest on your shoulders, the future of this state and city really does! Dropping some helpful links to make sure you have everything you need to make your voices heard. First, how to register to vote. Second, how to replace a lost ballot. Thirdly, ballot box locations. Finally, our handy cheat sheet for help filling out your ballot. Done your civic duty already? Well then sit back and enjoy the final hours of uncertainty at one of the many election night parties happening across the city tonight. The Stranger is throwing one at the Crocodile—it’s sold out, but we think it’s worth it to take your chances on standby tickets. There might be some no-shows, and we can squeeze you in. But if you don't wanna chance it, check out this list of parties you can attend from our sister publication Everout. Stranger reporters will be dotted around the city to bring you coverage of the election from various candidate election parties as well. Speaking of voting: The Boeing machinists approved a contract last night ending their strike after 53 days, according to the Seattle Times. The latest contract, approved by 59% of membership, includes a 38% general wage increase over the next four years, which equates to 43% when you factor in raises on top of raises. The contract did not restore the pension that they lost in a contentious vote 10 years ago. Union president Jon Holden said the union should be proud of what they accomplished and that it was time to get back to building planes. Alleged sex abuse in youth detention: An additional 176 people made allegations against Washington state for failing to protect them from sexual abuse while they were children at youth detention centers in the state, according to the Seattle Times. Combined with another lawsuit filed in September, that brings the total number of people claiming they were sexually abused in Washington's detention centers up to almost 400. Meanwhile, the Seattle Times Editorial Board continues to decry and complain about youth diversion programs meant to help kids avoid being sent into lock up. Seattle Steel Pan Project Evicted: The Seattle Steel Pan Project, dedicated to teaching the art of steel plan music and performance, needs a new space to operate in after MLK FAME Community Center in the Central District evicted the group this week, according to an Instagram post from the project. In the post, the group accused MLK FAME of bowing to the demands of neighborhood "Karens" who complained about the groups weekly practice. I reached out to MLK FAME for a response, who did not immediately reply, but I'll update if they do. In the meantime, the project is asking everyone they know if they have any ideas where they can house their steel pan band. Their email address is steelpanproject@gmail.com. Here's a little taste of what they do: Ok. Moving on. Let's talk about the presidential election: Let's be real, no one knows how this election will shake out. The polls are insanely tight in swing states. Dixville Notch, a tiny New Hampshire town that votes at midnight every year on Election Day, tallied up their six votes which resulted in a tie, with three votes for Vice President Kamala Harris, and three for former President Donald Trump. There is a very good chance we don't know the election result tonight, and maybe not for a couple days. Battleground states prepare for certification fight: Given the resistance to certifying the vote in swing states in the last election cycle, many officials have already started to prepare to quash attempts by county officials to squabble over valid election results, according to Politico. Election officials fear if Trump loses, he won't just fade quietly into the night, and instead will mount another attempt to overturn election results. Meanwhile, the two parties also are wrestling for control of congress. New York stands out as a battleground state for the House, as the congressional seats they lost in 2022 helped Republicans take the chamber back, according to Politico. Meanwhile in Texas, Democrats continue to try to take Senator Ted Cruz's seat, and while Cruz continues to lead, Representative Colin Allred is within spitting distance of him. But, it's wholly unpredictable who will control what in 2025. But for some good news: One of my top five favorite creatures in the world continues to beat the odds. A cloned black-footed ferret mother in Virginia gave birth to two little baby ferrets in June, according to the Washington Post. Unclear why we're only hearing about it now. We should have rang the bells. If you don't know much about black-footed ferrets, you're really missing out. These little bandits scurry across our prairie lands, and has supposedly gone extinct twice, but they're resilient AF. Now with the cloning and the babies, we could continue to see this species soldier on. Ugh I love them so much, I've been obsessed with them ever since I lived in Montana. And I'm not a ferret girl, it's just they're little markings make them look like they have a tiny black Zorro mask across their smol faces.

ay 2024 Election Night Takeaways By www.thestranger.com Published On :: Wed, 06 Nov 2024 09:11:00 -0800 Sure, the national election provided a cure-all for the will to live.

Here are our six takeaways from the night as you numb the existential dread with your breakfast whiskey. by Hannah Krieg Sure, the national election provided a cure-all for the will to live. But let’s not throw the whole bottle out with the booze. In Seattle, King County, and Washington State, we turned a deeper shade of blue last night. And there are a few things worth cheering about. Here are our six takeaways from the night as you numb the existential dread with your breakfast whiskey. A Stranger Victory Okay, because who doesn't need a dose of levity to start off this morning. Once again, The Stranger’s anointed candidates claimed victory last night, at least locally. Like we said in the primary, we acknowledge that we had some overlap with lesser endorsement boards, such as the Seattle Times Editorial Board, in the race for Governor and Attorney General. However, we only endorsed the same person in the Superintendent of Public Instruction race because the Times had to come to our side on Chris Reykdal after Reykdal trounced the Time’s first choice in the primary. Our candidate for the 43rd Legislative District Shaun Scott also beat the Time’s choice in the primary, and yet the Times refused to see the light and endorsed Andrea Suarez, who Scott walloped. Current election results show him receiving 68% of the vote compared to Suarez’s 31%. Our candidates also swept in the race for Lands Commissioner, the open seat in the 5th Legislative District, and the citywide Seattle City Council seat. Also, we rightly endorsed a “no” vote on the Initiative to eliminate WA Cares, which created a public long-term care option. Our endorsement has never carried more heft and girth. We promise to protect you from the loathsome choices of the Seattle Times Editorial Board in perpetuity. Washington voters rejected the right Donald Trump won last night. We’re concerned about the growth of right-wing populism in this country and what will happen as Trump rebuilds the federal government in his image with his cadre of idiots: JD Vance, Elon Musk, RFK Jr., and his dumbass sons. So it’s heartening that Washington elected Democrats who will fight that version of the federal government and that voters heartily rejected the right-wing in this election. In the 43rd District, “Democrat” Andrea Suarez suffered a colossal and deserved loss. The Executive Director of We Heart Seattle, who zealously aligns herself with far-right proponents of treatment-first homelessness policy, ran a stupid campaign that played to the basest, most reactionary fears of Seattleites. Even more concerning than her ideology was her sheer ignorance of how policy even works. The fiercely progressive Shaun Scott earned 67 percent of the vote in the first ballot drop because he was a strong candidate with popular policies that appealed to a broad coalition of progressive voters in a renter-heavy district. Also likely to face sweet defeat is Trump-backed Joe Kent, who currently trails Democratic congresswoman Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. The statewide races for Superintendent of Public Instruction and Attorney General were not blowouts like the Suarez-Scott race, but the MAGA-y candidates David Olson and Pete Serrano are lagging far behind Superintendent Chris Reykdal and Nick Brown. Olson ran on proudly opposing DEI and "critical race theory" as a school board member and encouraged voters to join Moms for Liberty, an extremist group. Serrano is all about undermining gun safety laws and wouldn't commit to enforcing our shield law for people seeking abortions and gender-affirming healthcare, which will be a very big fucking deal now. State Executives Ready to Tangle With Trump With President Donald Trump primed to retake the Oval Office, Washingtonians can at least take comfort in the fact that we elected two of the best people to defend Washington’s laws in our future Governor, Bob Ferguson and future Attorney General, Nick Brown. Ferguson, who as of election night led the race with 56% of the vote compared to former US Representative Dave Reichert’s 43%, took the stage Tuesday night to thank his supporters before acknowledging the grim outlook facing the nation in its presidential election. Ferguson declared that if Trump once again became commander-in-chief, no other statewide candidate in the nation would be more “prepared to defend your freedoms against that administration than I am.” During Trump’s last term, Ferguson sued the administration 82 times, challenging policies on issues such as access to contraception, 3-D printed guns, and most notably Trump’s initial travel ban on people from seven majority-Muslim nations. Right alongside Ferguson working on the response to Trump’s travel ban was Brown, who ended election night with 56% of the vote compared to Pasco Mayor Pete Serrano’s 43%. At the time of the travel ban, Brown worked as general counsel to Governor Jay Inslee and worked closely on that issue with Ferguson’s office. He also promised in his campaign to defend the state’s shield law. Together, Ferguson and Brown seem to be the perfect dynamic duo to fight any policy that a Trump presidency could bring to Washington state. Washingtonians Love A Tax With the projected defeat of three out of four of the proposed ballot initiatives, Washington voters sent a clear message to millionaire hedge fund manager Brian Heywood: We love taxes, especially on the rich. Washington voters seem likely to reject I-2109, I-2117, and I-2124, all of which would have cut taxes. I-2109, which early results showed 63% of people voted “No” on, would have eliminated the state’s capital gains tax. I-2117, which 61% of people voted “No” on as of election night, would have ended the Climate Commitment Act–a cap-and-trade program that effectively acts as a tax on companies exceeding the emissions cap. Finally, I-2124, which 55% of people rejected, would have eliminated the WA Cares program, a tax that helps people pay for long-term care. Heywood billed these initiatives as “Vote yes, pay less,” and Washington voters took one look at how voting “Yes” would cut funding to schools, cut money for transportation and clean water, and end a program that could help them and their families in a health emergency, and they said, “No.” In fact, the only bill they did vote “Yes” on had no clear fiscal impact, I-2066, which sought to make it easier and more affordable for people in the state to switch from gas to electric power. On election night, I-2066 still remained tight, with 51% of people voting “Yes,” and 48% voting “No”. It’s easier to scare Washington voters into voting against a bill based on unfounded fears of being forced to give up their gas stoves than it is to convince them that cutting taxes benefits them. So THIS is Why Even-Year Elections are the One Thing Sara Nelson Hates More Than Progressives Council President Sara Nelson argued against moving local elections to even years and it's clear why — under a more representative democracy, her pearl-clutching ideology would lose every single time. Typically, Seattle elects its City Council members, Mayor, and City Attorney in odd years, which tend to have much lower turnout than even-year elections. This year, because Council Member Teresa Mosqueda ditched her citywide position early, Seattle got to vote for a council member in a presidential year, the highest turnout opportunity of them all. In a more representative sample of voters, Seattle picked a progressive, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, over conservative Tanya Woo. This marks a strong rebuke of the policies of the current conservative council, headed by Council President Sara Nelson. The current council won their seats in 2023, when about 46% of voters cast a ballot for their district seats. In all seats but one, a race between progressive Council Member Tammy Morales and Woo, the conservative contender prevailed. This year, more than 56% of registered Seattle voters cast a ballot and the progressive candidate, Rinck, scored 57.3% on night one. Her support will likely increase as late ballots come in. But even if her results froze, she garnered more votes than all the council winners of 2023 combined. She’s also a few thousand ahead of where Nelson finished in 2021. So maybe the NextDoor types hold the “majority” of seats, but Rinck holds the majority in representation. Capitol Hill is Still a Communist Hellhole And we wouldn’t have it any other way. After Council Member Kshama Sawant decided to give up her long-held City Council office, political commentators began lamenting (or mostly celebrating) the end of socialism in Seattle. No clear successor emerged from the barrage of milquetoast candidates who ran in the District 3 race in 2023. Instead, the city’s most progressive district elected Joy Hollingsworth, a centrist who attempted to permanently enshrine a subminimum wage for restaurant workers. Politicos forgot the neighborhood’s lefty sensibilities so quickly, 43rd LD candidate Andrea Saurez tried to smear her opponent, Shaun Scott, by calling him a communist. As it turns out, the LD that contains Sawant’s old stomping grounds doesn’t consider “communist” an insult. Scott, a candidate endorsed by both Democrat and lefty organizations, won his seat in a landslide – almost 68% to Saurez’s 32%. So basically, if you're a Capitol Hill communist (bonus points if you have a funky colored mullet), you might have a chance at beating Hollingsworth if you run a truly leftwing campaign. Or maybe these results give Hollingsworth a little wake-up call. An image of Hollingsworth at a Saurez campaign event floated around Twitter a few months ago. If your preferred candidate, who shares your constituency, loses dramatically, you should probably take note and adjust accordingly, i.e., stop attacking workers' rights. Full Article Elections 2024
ay Sara Nelson Count Your Days By www.thestranger.com Published On :: Mon, 11 Nov 2024 11:12:00 -0800 Just over a year ago, Sara Nelson was flying high, practically waving from cloud nine on election night. She'd pulled off a conservative coup of Seattle's City Council. After two years as a conservative outcast, she now had a majority of fellow business-friendly colleagues who were set to remake local politics in their image —the city’s progressive constituency be damned. Down with police defunding, social housing, and new business taxes. Hello, drug ordinances, SODA zones, and rollbacks to gig worker pay. But her rise might be shorter than a Seattle summer. by Hannah Krieg Just over a year ago, Sara Nelson was flying high, practically waving from cloud nine on election night. She'd pulled off a conservative coup of Seattle's City Council. After two years as a conservative outcast, she now had a majority of fellow business-friendly colleagues who were set to remake local politics in their image —the city’s progressive constituency be damned. Down with police defunding, social housing, and new business taxes. Hello, drug ordinances, SODA zones, and rollbacks to gig worker pay. But her rise might be shorter than a Seattle summer. The Seattle Times officially called the City Council Position 8 race for progressive newcomer Alexis Mercedes Rinck last Thursday night. Unofficially, politicos are calling next year’s race for City Council Position 9 for anyone who challenges current Council President Nelson. Rinck’s decisive defeat of the council’s nepo baby Tanya Woo marks not only a second rejection of Woo, but a sign of voters’ dissatisfaction with the conservative council they only recently elected. “People are fed up with Nelson’s bullshit,” said Carrie Barnes, a major contributor to the Progressive People Power PAC that supported Rinck. “And we aren’t going to let corporate interests sneak her back into office in 2025 when less people vote. [Rinck] is just the beginning.” The “It's So Over” to “We Are So Back” Pendulum The 2023 elections left Seattle progressives devastated. Big business and real estate interest poured more than $1 million into the seven council races. Without organized labor —the city’s other monied interest — counterbalancing them, the corporate PACs bought all but one of the seven seats up for grabs. Those PACs lobbied the council they bought to appoint Woo, their only failed candidate, to the citywide council seat ditched by former Council Member Teresa Mosqueda at the beginning of 2024. Five council members voted to install Woo and she quickly announced her intention to run that year to retain the seat. Enter Rinck. “I’m of the belief that big business shouldn't be deciding who represents this City,” Rinck told The Stranger when she announced her candidacy in March. “You know, Woo was appointed by five people. I'm looking to be elected by 100,000 people.” And as of Friday afternoon, 197,000 people voted for Rinck. She won 57.9% of the vote to Woo’s 41.6%. Her vote count trumps the combined totals of the 2023 city council victors and she scored 58,000 more votes than Nelson in her citywide race in 2021. The math is clear — Rinck represents more of the electorate than any other member and it's not particularly close. Rinck benefited from higher turnout driven by the presidential race at the top of the ticket. People of color and voters under 40 made up a slightly higher proportion of the electorate in the 2024 general than in 2023, according to Washington Community Alliance (WCA) data analyst Andrew Hong. Nelson and, more recently, the Seattle Times Editorial Board, have argued against a popular democracy reform to combine even and odd year elections. They agree with proponents that this would increase turnout, but they don’t trust voters are smart enough to decide on so many elections at once. So while a higher quantity of voters cast a ballot in even years, Nelson reasons the votes are lower quality. It all sounds pretty damn racist, classist, and paternalistic when considering that more people of color, renters, and young people vote in odd years. While the even-year boost helped Rinck, Hong says she didn’t need it to win. Her success in the primary actually reflects a turnabout in the electorate. A nearly identical voting bloc came out in the 2023 election as in the 2024 primary. So Hong deduces that Rinck somehow “convinced people who voted for moderates in 2023 to vote for her in 2024.” Girl Bossed To Close To The Sun That shift spells trouble for Seattle’s conservative-majority council as Rinck ran as a clear referendum to the newly elected council. Advocates warned that this council would attack renters’ protections, workers’ rights, gut funding for affordable housing, and bend over backwards to give the cops whatever they ask for. And as the year went on, the City Council proved those advocates right. Nelson put herself in a position to shoulder unique blame for any perceived failures of the council. She played kingmaker, recruiting and supporting many of the 2023 winners. Then her stooges elected her president after spending two years as the body’s conservative outcast. And she immediately started making power moves, including firing the head of central staff Esther Handy. This is the precise shit that new, insecure leadership does when they want to ensure total loyalty. But Nelson may have power tripped flat on her face. “The issues that this City Council has taken up under the leadership of Council President Sara Nelson are not popular amongst Seattleites,” says MLK Labor Council Executive Treasurer Katie Garrow. “In the 2025 campaign, we don’t need to persuade voters on our ideas. We just need to make it clear that Nelson was the leader of the council while these already unpopular positions have been pursued. It seems clear from Rinck’s success that they're with us, not the council majority.” Most notably, she’s burned any possible bridge with workers. SEIU 775 Secretary-Treasurer Adam Glickman said there’s nothing Nelson can do to win back support from labor, one of two major players in local political PACs. Nelson wasted months on a controversial crusade against a newly passed minimum wage for gig delivery drivers. And as president, she oversaw Council Member Joy Hollingsworth's “political suicide,” a short-lived attempt to permanently enshrine a tip punishment system for workers. “It was sort of unbelievable that our leaders thought that was a position that Seattleites agreed with,” says Garrow from MLK Labor. Even for voters who may not have workers' rights top of mind, Rinck’s consultant, Erin Schultz of NWP Consulting, says voters might be frustrated by the fights Nelson and her majority picked. The council did not explicitly campaign on wasting half their first year engaged in career-ruining battles against workers' rights. They ran as a backlash to the collective hallucination that the previous council defunded the Seattle Police Department (SPD) — the City allocated $398 million to SPD in 2019 before the protests and have proposed $457 million in 2025. Voters may have expected to see more change to public safety. At the same time, the City Council has not done much for the corporate donors who bankrolled their last campaigns – if only by virtue of not accomplishing much in general. Still, Seattle Metropolitan Chamber of Commerce CEO Rachel Smith told The Stranger earlier this year that the business community felt satisfied with the council they bought. They may even gladly reward Nelson and the rest of the majority for stalling efforts to increase corporate taxes to address the budget shortfall in the ongoing negotiations On The Flip Side Not everyone forecasted Rinck’s win as a death knell for Nelson. “Seattle City Council never really stopped being unpopular,” says Nelson’s consultant, Ben Anderstone of Progressive Strategies Northwest. Anderstone echoed Hong’s analysis. Many of the same voters who went center in 2023 picked Rinck in 2024 and for “not-especially-ideological reasons,” according to Anderstone. Rather, the data points to an anti-incumbent bias, rather than the electorate’s true progressive nature, says Hong. “Seattle voters are uniquely reactionary,” says Hong. “They want change, and they're impatient for change, so they're not going to wait that long to vote out whatever the majority is.” The 2023 council represented a backlash to the 2019 council, which rode into office on the backlash against Amazon’s attempt to buy the election. Hong says this trend indicates that centrists and progressives have both failed to solve the issues that voters care about most, particularly the housing and homelessness crisis. Anderstone says that incumbents are not destined to lose, “but any incumbents need to effectively message around [voter’s] frustrations.” Choose Your Fighter Over the next few months, the chattering class will vet and prop up candidates to take on Nelson. It’s critical that consultants and endorsing bodies back the right candidate. If a progressive beats Nelson – and if Rinck resists the council’s conservative gravitational pull — the balance of power shifts. Right now, the council has enough conservatives to pass whatever legislation they want. But three progressives in Council Members Tammy Morales, Rinck, and the Nelson challenger could sway more moderate council members to join them in passing more progressive policies or blocking the most egregious legislation. So far, it seems they are on the hunt for someone like Rinck. Rinck’s consultant Schultz tells The Stranger Rinck is a “unicorn” of a candidate. “It's very rare that you have someone that brings real policy experience, is rooted in their values, and is connected with community,” says Schultz. Schultz also commends Rinck for running a “badass” campaign. She earned early support from a broad coalition, which Schultz says helped legitimize her as a relatively unknown candidate. Glickman says Rinck threaded the needle of appealing to progressives without losing moderates to Woo’s conservative campaign. When asked how she pulled that off, Glickman said, “If I had a total answer to that, I'd be the richest political consultant in the country.” It won’t be hard to have a broader coalition than Nelson. As Upper Left consultant Michael Charles says, “Nelson has done no favors for herself by making allies that lead me to believe that she'll run a strong campaign next year.” But Nelson won’t rely on her merit to win anyway. Outside spending plays a huge role in who wins the election. Nelson had almost five times as much money behind her as her opponent Nikkita Oliver in 2021 and she won by about seven percentage points. Business way outspent labor in 2023, buying their corporate takeover. In 2024, business and labor spent roughly the same amount on their candidates, and labor won Rinck’s seat. SIEU 775 will certainly play ball this go round. Glickman concedes that labor may have been a little “naive” for investing so little in the left-lane candidates in 2023, giving rise to the new corporate council. Now with more energy around fundraising with the launch of P3 PAC, designed explicitly to never let a corporate takeover like the one in 2023 happen again, progressives seem better positioned to compete with big business. But Glickman says Seattle can expect a “big, bitter, expensive” race. Full Article News Elections 2024
