Re: “Seattle’s next mayor is willing to meet with anyone, even Trump” (Nov. 25, A1):
Thanks for David Kroman’s article on Mayor-elect Katie Wilson.
As a King County Metro bus operator in my twenty first 12 months, I used to be happy to learn that she “needs an workplace that reaches out proactively, that has open traces to grassroots organizations, that builds political help from the bottom up.”
This aligns with my expertise working with Wilson in the course of the early years of the Transit Riders Union, the place she demonstrated each grassroots credibility and an action-oriented strategy.
Somewhat than dismissing her democratic socialist rules, Seattle ought to acknowledge Wilson as a practical chief dedicated to serving the frequent good and constructing sustainable, long-term progress. Our metropolis wants somebody who can bridge daring imaginative and prescient with sensible governance.
