    Elections are this November. A ton of seats up. Shitty center right mayor. Shitty right wing city attorney. Shitty right wing city council president, among others.

    The current city attorney was voted in 4 years ago in 2021

          Schell is the only politician I went after off campus. Locke was fucking useless, but Schell loved to fuck up at every chance he got.

          And I ran the editorial board at Seattle’s third-largest daily (bearing in mind the P-I was still printing), so I got to do it anonymously.
