SEATTLE — Seattle's new Mayor-elect Katie Wilson is addressing the public regarding her election and upcoming role as mayor on Thursday afternoon.

After thanking her family, campaign team, volunteers, and canvassers, Wilson criticized the large amounts of money poured into her opponents' campaigns.

"They might have the money, we had the people," Wilson triumphantly continued. "The working people of our city are tired. They are ready for something new, something more hopeful and just and equitable.”

Wilson also listed what she wants to achieve as mayor.

"I want everyone in this great city of ours to have a roof over their head. I want universal childcare, K-8 summer care. I want world-class mass transit. I want great safe public spaces where kids can run around with abandon. I want stable, affordable housing for renters. I want social housing. I want much more land and wealth to be owned and stewarded by communities instead of corporations.”

“I want a robust economy with thriving small businesses, great living-wage jobs, and strong rights for workers. I want a city where everyone has the basics of a dignified life, including healthy food, access to healthcare, and supportive communities. I want a city where your health and longevity, and your children's future, don't depend on your zip code or your race."

Wilson addressed the Seattle community directly, urging support, community cooperation, and proactivity, stressing a collective responsibility "for this city and for each other."

"As a progressive and as a socialist, I believe in good governance," she stated. "Our government is how we accomplish the things that can only be done together."

It pains me to see people that 20 years ago couldn’t get elected to dog catcher now being embraced by their communities. Like this nasty, horrible human being, or that scumbag AG in VA.

In a blue area, anyone, regardless of their flaws, can be elected, so long as they are a Dem.

How about a parking spot for everybody’s pony, right next to the charging station for their EV?

In the Russian empire people were not allowed to leave their homes or community without the approval of the nobility. They couldn’t even get married. After the revolution and the solidification of power by the Bolsheviks and subsequent Stalinists they were not allowed to leave the farm collectives. How’d that work out?

"They might have the money, we had the people,"

That doesn't sound like unity. That sounds like "let's screw the rich".

That lady talks too much.

She should have just said, “Free stuff now! Everything free!”

That would have summed up her position perfectly.

So what you are saying is, the last Communist Mayor didn't work out?

I hope she has a plumbing snake because that load of crap will keep her from flushing that city down the drain fully.

She stole the election. Period. No one can lose in-person voting by 10,000 and then win 70% of the “mail-in” vote. This is complete and total fraud, yet we just keep letting it happen. Our Republic cannot survive this. They stole three Senate seats from us in 2024 by doing this and we just ignored it.
