Kshama Sawant, who was recently written off by The Seattle Times as \u201ctoo hard left for Seattle,\u201d won a stunning 33% of the vote, a number that will likely rise as late ballots are counted.<\/p>\n<p>A majority of primary voters voted against 16-year Seattle City Council incumbent, Democrat Richard Conlin, who despite a massive fund-raising advantage and name recognition, received only 49%. Sawant and a second challenger to Conlin, Brian Carver, won the majority of the vote in the City Council Position 2 race.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWorking people in Seattle have a clear political choice for a change. If you want to fight for an alternative to the status quo, join us in the struggle for a citywide $15\/hour minimum wage, a major expansion of public transit by taxing Seattle\u2019s millionaires, increased investment in affordable housing, and implementing rent control,\u201d said Sawant.<\/p>\n<p>Sawant has earned the endorsements of The Stranger newspaper, four labor unions, and prominent community activists such as Real Change founder Tim Harris.<\/p>\n<p>Unlike Conlin, Sawant refuses to accept corporate donations. Her grassroots campaign has raised $25,000, predominantly in the form of small donations of $25 or less, and has mobilized over 125 volunteers. \u201cWe will make history by raising a grassroots army of over 300 volunteers, and run one of the biggest door knocking campaigns this city has seen to defeat Richard Conlin,\u201d Sawant declared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConlin has made clear where he stands, with corporations and the elite. By not representing the majority of struggling working people in this city, he has made himself obsolete.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Please Support our Campaign:<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>1) Donate on-line at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.votesawant.org\/donate\">www.VoteSawant.org\/donate<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>2) Like our Facebook page\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/VoteSawant\">www.facebook.com\/VoteSawant<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>3) Volunteer at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.votesawant.org\/get_involved\">www.votesawant.org\/get_involved<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>4) Endorse our candidate at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.votesawant.org\/endorsements\">www.VoteSawant.org\/endorsements<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>5) Join Socialist Alternative!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>+1 (206) 486-0099<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>VoteSawant@gmail.com<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Twitter: @VoteSawant<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Seattle Gives Green Light to Oust Richard Conlin from City Hall<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":1878,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"tdm_status":"","tdm_grid_status":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[148,124],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-882","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-international","8":"category-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
