Blog: The rift between the council and the mayor is obvious, but the mayor does have one ally

Of the nine council members, the mayor has only one ally. Seattle’s City Council member Mike O’Brien was also the only one who was not invited to Bruce Harrell’s Big Re-election Campaign Kickoff Event on March 30 at the First African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. Seattle City Council members Sally Clark, Richard Conlin, Sally Bagshaw, Tom Burgess, Jean Godden, and Tom Rasmussen all came. Nick Nicata was unable to make it. ♦
