Seattle Councilmember Kshama Sawant has long been an outspoken voice for socialist ideals with an utter disregard for the city’s business community. She has also inserted rudeness, bullying and shoddy ethics into City Hall, which has done profound disservice to her District 3 constituency and the city. Voters should hold Sawant accountable for transgressions against civil governance and remove her from office.
Ballots for a Dec. 7 recall election will start arriving in District 3 mailboxes this week, asking whether voters should remove Sawant from the council seat she has held since 2014. Voters should resoundingly vote yes.
Sawant spent public money on her political stumping, helped lead a march on Mayor Jenny Durkan’s house despite the confidentiality of its address and broke City Hall’s COVID-19 lockdown to usher in hundreds of protesters. Often at odds with a majority of the council, Sawant has not matured into an effective representative, instead choosing rhetoric over substance, and disregarding any civic norm that comes between her and a microphone.
Her strongly liberal district stretches from Montlake through Capitol Hill to the Central District. A map of the city’s most liberal neighborhoods based on political donations overlaps heavily with the district precincts where Sawant won more than 60% of votes in 2019. Sawant has sold this constituency a bill of goods. She leverages the desire for a left-wing voice in City Hall to entrench herself - and then misuses her capital for disruption and impractical solutions. This harms the city’s ability to govern itself and needs to stop.
Sawant has been in office longer than any other council member yet incredibly shows the least wisdom about effectiveness. The progressive policies that would help the city reform policing, house the homeless and build public safety are not aided by Sawant’s intransigence and antics.

Sanctuary out of control blue libtard city created it’s own mess. 🤪
Now the Seattle Times, (think NYT) wants a communist city council member recalled?
Incredible!
Who are those former Governors?
Christine Gregoire and Gary Locke.
Sawant is Queen of CHOP.
Her constituents are rioters.
Former Govs. Gregoire and Locke endorse Ann Davison for Seattle city attorney
Someone misspelled ‘arrest’.
She is not American. She brought her communist anti-Americanism all the way from India.
She’s not really a Communist. Just a standard vile, hyper corrupt Indian politician.
The Marxist crap is just window dressing. A convenient way to hoodwink gullible Seattle pale faces into following her...right off a cliff.
Most people in the US have no idea what India is like. Most boomers still think its dominated by ethereal gurus, sitar strumming Ravi Shankars, and other relics of the past.
Sawant is totally normal there. She and her husband are just a pair of scheming Third Worlders taking advantage of a city full of beaming simpletons.
This from the Seattle Slimes, my hometown newspaper? Color me shocked!
Hm...sounds like the editorial board has gone the way of Leo Terrell and Alan Dershowitz. Could they finally be awaking from their progressive-induced stupor? Are they finally figuring out that progressives like Sawant want to destroy this country? And that they are her enemies?
Time will tell.
Savant is a MARXIST psychopath. Just listen to her speak. One very sicko red.
