'Crime is the biggest motivator for people to get out and vote and vote for somebody who they might not usually vote for,' Stine added.
In Seattle’s 2023 election, moderate and business-friendly candidates have outperformed their progressive-leaning opponents in the first drop of ballots. Three city council incumbents — Tammy Morales, Dan Strauss and Andrew Lewis — trail their respective challengers.
“But just to remind people, crime is the biggest motivator for people to get out and vote and vote for somebody who they might not usually vote for,” Stine added. “You can take the most lefty of lefty progressive people, and then they have one too many catalytic converters stolen from them…” “Lisa Herbold is likely going to be replaced by Rob Saka, who’s a centrist attorney,” Stine said. “Basically what you have is a bunch of moderates who are coming in and they’re saying, ‘Listen, I want to have a safe neighborhood. That is my priority.’ I think four out of the five who were backed by Mayor Harrell are pretty much in the city council.”
Harrell has found himself at odds with the city council since he first became mayor in 2021. Last year, according to The Jason Rantz Show on KTTH 770 AM, while explaining to the Seattle Police Department officers about his unhappiness with the homelessness crisis in the city, he took aim at groups that the city funds and some council members.
