2021 Seattle mayoral thread

[Seattle]

I'm sorry - Durkan has approximately a 0% chance of making it. She's triangulated herself.
Her support in the business establishment is gone. She has been extremely feckless and ineffective in almost everything she's done and that's something any opponent will easily be able to portray her as. The left hates her, the center-left has better candidates, and the center-right is ready for someone else.

One of Gonzalez or Mosqueda will run (they have a pretty close working relationship, I do not see both of them running) and win. I'd lean toward Mosqueda being the one if Gonzalez's eyes are still at the state level. She will be looking for a Biden victory > Inslee cabinet > Ferguson to Gov > open AG slot. Regardless of who of the two goes for it in 2021, I feel very confident in saying Mosqueda will make her way to the mayor's office in the next 10 years.

I would be pretty surprised if Sawant tried to run for mayor. I don't think she'd get anywhere.
