2021 Seattle mayoral thread

[Xing]

I don't think Durkan will get another term, but I wouldn't rule it out, and it depends somewhat on her opponent. There are definitely left-leaning people who sympathize with her, even if there's a significant chunk of the city that won't vote for her again under any circumstances. I really doubt Sawant is interested in running for mayor, and if she did, I have a hard time seeing her make the top two. There are enough people, including pretty left-wing people like myself, who think she's overstayed her welcome, and has pulled just too many publicity stunts. Oliver might give it another shot, but I also doubt that she'd make the top two. Agaisnt Gonzalez or Mosqueda, I think Durkan likely loses, though ifsomeone else makes the run-off, she might have a chance. I'm probably one of the few people who doesn't really sympathize with either Durkan or Sawant, to be honest.
