Election Results
Director Zachary DeWolf came in 4th in his race for City Council which means he'll be staying on the Seattle School Board. (Kshama Sawant came in 1st in that District 3 race followed by Egan Orion, and Pat Murkami.)
Seattle School Board
District 1 was a close race with Eric Blumhagen coming in first with 39.91%, followed closely by Liza Rankin at 36.61%. Under 500 votes separate them.
District 3 shows Chandra Hampson coming in strong at 55.37% with Rebeca Muniz coming in second at 23.64% and Ben Leis third with 20.18%. Under 500 votes separate Muniz and Leis.
District 6 shows Director Leslie Harris in first place with 53.41% of the vote, followed by Molly E. Mitchell with 33.8%.
Interestingly, there were 1,000 more votes cast in the District 3 race than either District 1 or
District 6.

Horrifying
District 1 is shaped like some kind of crazy crab claw. The rich ends of the claw vote a lot (Broadview and Matthews Beach). The rest of the crab claw doesn't vote as much.
District 6 is split. The west half votes a lot, the east half not so much. At least during primaries and off year sorts of elections. I guess having a water view makes people feel like voting.

I have mixed feelings about DeWolf losing his primary; I was hoping maybe he would move on to something he cared about more than the schools.
Yet another D2 Voter who needs something to do since I didn't have a bubble to fill in.
Congratulations to Rebecca Muniz:
Muniz spent: $4869 vs Hampson $19,184
Any chance we could get him to move to something he cares about anyway?

making a show of being morally superior to other people.
"what happened to all the sanctimonious talk about putting his family first?"
synonyms: self-righteous, holier-than-thou, churchy, pious, pietistic, moralizing, unctuous, smug, superior, priggish, mealy-mouthed, hypocritical, insincere, for form's sake, to keep up appearances;
No, not everyone who speaks in public office is sanctimonious. For example, I can see this applied to Pence and not Trump.

Seeing as how his own District failed to endorse him for city council, why would they coalesce on him for a higher position?
The question will remain: what has he done where he is now?
I think we both know the answer.

When they sought higher office, they both lost - badly. Geary got all of two votes when she sought the 46th District legislative appointment. DeWolf is in fourth place behind racist NIMBY Pat Murakami.
There's a lesson here. SPS's policies are massively unpopular. Board members who don't challenge those policies and who help the JSCEE wage war on parents are board members who will find themselves without a future in politics.
