Seattle’s millionaire mayoral candidates say they know what it’s like to struggle

[Disir]

One candidate lives in a $1.8 million condo with a panoramic view of the downtown waterfront. The other recently sold her home in a tony North Seattle neighborhood for $4.3 million. Both sent their children to private schools.

In 2017 Seattle, a city with the fastest-growing housing prices in the nation, a yawning income gap, and an officially declared homelessness emergency, the finalists for mayor are decidedly upper crust.


That fact has created tension at times as Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon appeal on the campaign trail to an increasingly far-left-leaning electorate.

If Jenny Durkin is Martin Durkins daughter that family has had money for years!

 

[Disir]

She is Martin Durkins' daughter.

 

[Zander]

Who should run the city? A broke loser?

She is Martin Durkins' daughter.

He ran for gov once. Friends of my family growing up.

Depends on the plan. No plan? No job.

A childhood playmate was Rick Bender. Last I heard he was serving in the state house. His dad was a union boss for the cement Mason's. Some corrupted sobs there.

One of these threads, you will have to tell how you got from Seattle to AZ. That's a big change.

Somehow, Liberals assail the 1 percent on a macro basis yet worship the 1 percent on a micro basis.

It's the struggle........

 

[Rocko]

All these politicians pretend to be poor as if it’s supposed to be some kind of positive. I’d like one of them to say I’ve done well and come from a family that has done well for a change.

 

[whitehall]

Wouldn't you know both political hypocrites are running as democrats.

The fact that the Left accepts a locked-in 1 percent on any level shows how full of shot they are.

No argument here.

Have you ever tried to make a payment on a Bentley? I don't think you can understand their pain until you walked a mile in their Prada Saffiano shoes.

That would be fine except there is this attitude that was best stated by Boynton Brown. She said poor people don't care about issues they vote based on emotion. The elite squad operates on this. It's why they don't have to lay out a plan.
