Katie Wilson: Seattle's New Progressive Mayor

Seattles mayor-elect, Katie Wilson, is set to become the citys third female mayor, following a narrow victory over incumbent Bruce Harrell. Her win, marked by strong support from younger voters, maintains Seattles trend of one-term mayors. Wilsons transition team, comprising nonprofit leaders, labor reps, and business voices, is preparing for her first four years in office. Her senior staff, including Kate Brunette Kreuzer as chief of staff and Jen Chan directing departments, are ready to tackle Seattles challenges. Wilson has yet to decide on keeping Police Chief Shon Barnes. Checkout Solipillow.com
