Seattle Mayoral Candidate Promises to ‘Trump-proof’ the City

Seattle Democratic mayoral candidate Katie Wilson has outlined her plan to ‘Trump-proof’ the city, emphasizing the protection of immigrant communities and the preservation of due process and protest rights. The candidate has also highlighted the potential impact of President Trump’s federal spending cuts, which she claims could affect essential services such as housing, medical care, and food security in Seattle. Wilson’s proposal includes increasing progressive revenue to maintain the city’s services and using funds more efficiently. Her campaign echoes a 2017 initiative where she advocated for a city income tax targeting households with incomes over $250,000. This comes as she faces off against current Mayor Bruce Harrell in the Democratic primary, with the election set for August 5 and the general election on November 4.
