Seattle City Council President Debora Juarez confirms exit at end of 2023
Seattle City Council President Debora Juarez announced in a release Monday that she will not seek re-election after the end of her term on December 31, 2023.
Our Uncle, Billy Frank Jr., taught us that you should ‘lead to leave’, Juarez said. “I’ve added my own sentiment: ‘leave a legacy.’ I believe it’s time to leave Seattle City Council, and I am proud of our legacy. It has been an honor to serve the city I love, with good people who care as deeply about it as I do.”
This follows Seattle City Councilmember and socialist alternative, Kshama Sawant, who announced, in a release on Jan. 19, that she will not run for re-election again in Seattle’s District 3.
Also not running for re-election are District 4′s Alex Pedersen and District 1′s Lisa Herbold, while at-large Councilmember Teresa Mosqueda announced a run for King County Council last week.
