In preparation for the upcoming Nov. 4th elections, SGN Editors Calvin Jay Emerson and Madison Jones interviewed over video call Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell as he seeks re-election for a second term in office. Seeking to delve deeper into the experiences and decisions that have informed the mayor's approach to life and governance throughout his career, from being an attorney in Omaha, NE to taking on Seattle's top executive spot in 2022, the SGN took a more non-traditional line of questioning going through a plethora of topics with Seattle's mayor spanning from his high school football days, to his thoughts on whether he has genuine progressive bona fides in this race. Since recording and uploading this interview, the SGN has already announced that it will be endorsing Harrell's opponent, Katie Wilson, in the upcoming Nov. 4th election. Find the written endorsement at the link below, and stay tuned for the Wilson interview episode coming soon!
