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 yr, I used to be happy to learn that she “desires an workplace that reaches out proactively, that has open strains to grassroots organizations, that builds political help from the bottom up.”
This aligns with my expertise working with Wilson through the early years of the Transit Riders Union, the place she demonstrated each grassroots credibility and an action-oriented strategy.
Moderately than dismissing her democratic socialist rules, Seattle ought to acknowledge Wilson as a practical chief dedicated to serving the widespread good and constructing sustainable, long-term progress. Our metropolis wants somebody who can bridge daring imaginative and prescient with sensible governance.
