It’s frustrating that no one is doing this. His opponents in the upcoming primary are Kashama Sawant (independent, not a democrat, not electable, not reasonable imho), and Melissa Chaudhry (not a previously elected democrat, also doesn’t look like a serious candidate). I want someone from the state legislature to run against him. I know why they won’t run, because they don’t want to lose their seat in this election and a good dem shouldn’t run against an incumbent. I want an alternative.
I believe he’s beatable. We need someone like Kat Abughazaleh who ran in Illinois (sadly she came in second in a 14 or so candidate field and lost). This seat should have a more liberal office holder. Adam Smith is perhaps slightly liberal in the dem field but to my eyes has been more of a traditional AIPAC type “wouldn’t be prudent” to resist the democratic orthodoxy democratic office holder. I don’t want a brand new candidate who hasn’t held office and is an unknown. I want someone from the king county council or some other local elected office. Beat this guy, transform the seat.
