  • Summary

  • Joy Hollingsworth was elected to the Seattle City Council in 2023 to replace Kshama Sawant in District 3. Her victory was part of a centrist wave. But Hollingsworth sometimes finds herself on the losing, more progressive side of council legislation. Does she see herself as a swing vote? We also talk about Hollingsworth's priorities and Seattle's racial politics.

    Our editor is Quinn Waller.
