  • Summary

  • There's an election coming up for a citywide seat on the Seattle City Council, and the question everyone's asking is: Can a progressive challenger beat a member of the Class of 2023? Tanya Woo, the citywide Position 8 incumbent, actually lost her race for a single-district seat last year but was elevated to a citywide position anyway—not by voters, but by the new centrist City Council majority, who appointed her in January. Her challenger, Alexis Mercedes Rinck, is hoping that voters are ready for at least one more progressive on the council. We discuss whether the voters (a different electorate in this Presidential year than they were in 2023) are ready for a mini-backlash to the backlash.
