"I will not be running for re-election in 2023. Above my love of public service to the constituents of District 1, I don’t want the Council to lose a progressive voice on the Council.
The 2022 elections last month were good for progressives. I feel like it’s time to do my part to create an open seat election in District 1. I believe that an open seat can better drive turnout and deliver District 1 to another progressive,"Herbold was elected to Seattle City Council in 2015. She is the chair of the Public Safety & Human Services Committee.
In a tweet, Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell said: "Across all our work together over nearly 15 years, from legislative aide to city councilmember, @Lisa_Herbold has always led with a dedication to the details and love for West Seattle and our entire city. Thank you for your decades of service to Seattle."that I have read and agree
