Bruce Harrell's attempts to paint @wilsonforseattle.bsky.social as an outsider when she's lived here for 21 years are actually pretty reflective of the way he treats his constituents. Those who weren't born here like he was or who aren't wealthy like he is are not worthy of his consideration.

When Bruce Harrell insults Wilson the certain dismissive arrogant way he has chosen (or been told to) attack her he is also insulting all the organizations & individuals that support her. His campaign’s line of attack is weak and cowardly.

“I never thought federal officers could behave this way. I really didn’t,” she said. “I always thought people must be provoking them or something, that they would never do this unprovoked. Obviously, I was wrong.”

Much of this is pretty incoherent, but I had a good chuckle at "and you had many progressive politicians on the city council before I created Seattle as a human rights city"
Since @ericacbarnett.bsky.social has been keeping score, he did not use Katie Wilson's name in this interview either.

Bruce Harrell dissing Katie Wilson for having six different jobs is proof he has no idea what an average person‘s life is like in the 21st Century. You might as well make fun of her for wearing the same pants twice in a week.

If this is what he says in public what is he saying in private and how do we get him on a hot mic so @repbpramilajayapal.bsky.social @cmtmosqueda.bsky.social can un-endorse him already?

Make sure you are talking to your neighbors about why they should vote for Wilson. They likely aren’t on BlueSky and won’t know all the terrible things Harrell stands for.

Bruce Harrell spent tons of taxpayer money to keep private shelter rooms empty, because his administration (which is known for being vindictive) didn't like the lady that runs the program.

Is that the kind of @mayorofseattle.bsky.social you want, Seattle?

ProPublica @propublica.org · 2d

NEW: After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

I have a feeling that if Katie Wilson were coming off a 4 year CM term, the goalposts would move and she would still be deemed 'unqualified'.

The true intent comes through when calling her a "college school dropout" or bashing her work history for not being white collar enough.

On the other hand, I saw Katie Wilson walking with her baby the other day on my run and I found it actually very heartening to see that the potential mayor experiences the city in the same way I do (not through a car windshield).
