'I believe that an open seat can better drive turnout and deliver District 1 to another progressive,' Herbold said.
Seattle city councilmember Lisa Herbold announced Friday that she will not run for reelection in 2023.“I will not be running for reelection 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,” Herbold said, in part. “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.
Later in the blog post, Herbold mentioned not wanting the 2023 race for Seattle city attorney to turn out the way the 2021 race did, when “a very strong and proven progressive didn’t advance to the general, forcing a choice between a carceral system abolitionist and a Republican,” she said.; the eventual winner of the race, current city attorney Ann Davison, is a Republican.
