2017 Seattle mayoral election

April 13, 2024

The 2017 Seattle mayoral election was held on November 7, 2017. It was won by former U.S. Attorney Jenny Durkan, who beat civic activist Cary Moon in the general election by 15 percentage points. The two candidates had advanced from an earlier primary election held in August, which ensured that Seattle would have its first female mayor since Bertha Knight Landes was elected in 1926.[1] Municipal elections are officially nonpartisan though most candidates have declared party affiliations.

Elected Mayor

Jenny Durkan
Democratic

Then-incumbent mayor Ed Murray initially sought re-election, but ended his campaign amid allegations of sexual abuse which led to his resignation in September 2017.[2][3] In the top-two primary, leading candidates had included Durkan, Moon, Nikkita Oliver, former State Representative Jessyn Farrell, former Mayor Mike McGinn, and State Senator Bob Hasegawa. Fifteen lesser-known candidates were also on the primary ballot.[4][5]

Durkan had a large lead over Moon after the preliminary general election ballot count on November 7, and Moon conceded the next day.[6] Durkan officially took office on November 28, after the results were certified, replacing interim mayor Tim Burgess.

Voting edit

Elections in Washington use a nonpartisan blanket primary which selects the top two candidates, whether endorsed by any party or not, to appear on the general election ballot, along with a write-in space. Washington elections have been vote-by-mail in every county since 1990.[7] Since there are no polling places, voting can only be done by absentee ballot, typically mailed to registered voters 20 days ahead of the election deadline, and returned by US Mail. Replacement ballots may be downloaded online and printed by the voter.[8] Designated ballot drop boxes are available as an alternative to mailing, and voters with disabilities can get assistance in person beginning 18 days before election day.[9][10] Mail in ballots must be postmarked by midnight of the election day, or delivered to the drop box by 8 pm.

The ballots for the 2017 primary were mailed on July 12, and the primary election day was August 1. King County Elections began posting results at 8:30 pm on that day, and certified final results on August 15.[11] General election ballots were mailed out on or before October 18, and drop boxes opened the following day.[11] The general Election Day was November 7, and results were certified on November 28.[11]

City politics edit

Ed Murray, a former state legislator, was elected Mayor of Seattle during the 2013 mayoral election, defeating incumbent Mike McGinn.[12] During Murray's first term in office, Seattle adopted a $15 hourly minimum wage, a citywide preschool program, a large transportation funding measure, and reforms within the Seattle Police Department after intervention from the United States Department of Justice.[3][13]

Ed Murray abuse lawsuit edit

In early April, several months before the primary election, a lawsuit was filed against Mayor Ed Murray, alleging sexual abuse of the plaintiff as a minor in the 1980s in exchange for drug money.[14] The allegations were denied by Murray, who initially said he would fight the suit and carry on his campaign, but decided to withdraw a month later because, he said, the Mayor's race should be about the needs of the city, not "a scandal, which it would be focused on, if I were to remain in".[15] The Seattle Times editorial board had said they feared dealing with the allegations during an election would weaken Murray to the point that an "extreme left-wing ideologue" could become Mayor, so Murray should withdraw from the race to "clear the way for another qualified, pragmatic leader to come forward".[16] The Stranger alt-weekly said that even though The Times mentioned Kshama Sawant as the kind of mayor they feared, they really meant lawyer and Black Lives Matter activist Nikkita Oliver.[17] Murray ended his campaign on May 9, after a fourth accuser was identified.[2]

Jenny Durkan and Cary Moon won the August 1 primary, with Durkan's 51,529 votes comprising 27.97% of the total, and Moon's 32,536 votes comprising 17.66%. Until the final result was certified on August 15, Moon's second-place finish was uncertain, with Nikkita Oliver running a close third with 17.02% of the total, or 31,366 votes, finishing 1,170 votes, or 0.63 percentage points behind Moon. The size of the top two candidates' leads shrank slightly as the daily counts were announced, but not enough to change the outcome. None of the three conceded, or claimed victory, until final tally. None of the leading candidates eliminated in the primary, Oliver, Farrell, O'Brien, or Hasegawa, had made any endorsements at that point.

The first day's preliminary count after the August 1 primary was 88,950 ballots, 19.18% of the 463,660 ballots sent to registered voters.[92] The leaders in this initial count were Jenny Durkan with 27,579 votes or 31.6% of the ballots counted so far, Cary Moon with 13,583 or 15.56%, and Nikkita Oliver with 12,126 or 13.9%. Jessyn Farrell had 10,308 votes (11.81%), Bob Hasegawa 7,526 (8.62%), and Mike McGinn 6,247 (7.16%). The remaining 15 candidates, and write-ins, totaled 9,899 votes, or 11.3%.[92] The Seattle Times, KUOW radio, and other local media predicted, after the initial count of about half what King County said was the expected turnout, that Seattle's next mayor would be a woman for the first time since Bertha Knight Landes was elected 91 years before, in 1926.[1] They said Durkan appeared certain to have her name on the general election ballot, while Moon and Oliver, and perhaps Farrell, were in a toss-up to make it through the primary.[1] The Stranger predicted that in the likely event of Moon or Oliver facing Durkan in the general, "Seattle's mayoral race will once again pit an establishment politician with deep Democratic ties against an outsider whose political influence grew from activism", whom Crosscut.com called "darlings of the left".[93][1] Erica C. Barnett called the result a rejection of backward-looking "taking back" Seattle (Hasegawa) and "keeping Seattle" (McGinn).[94]

By August 8, local media said Durkan and Moon appeared certain to have their names on the general election ballot, with 186,784 ballots counted representing 40.28% of registered voters, and about 1,200 Seattle ballots left. Most of the remaining ballots were awaiting signature challenges. Oliver had begun a campaign of 'ballot chasing', encouraging supporters whose ballots had been challenged to contact the elections office to defend them. Durkan and Moon said they supported Oliver's efforts to make sure every vote is counted. Durkan, with 27.96% was still secure in her position, while Moon's lead over Oliver had decreased to 1,362, larger than the number of remaining ballots. After an election is certified, a recount is mandatory when candidates are separated by very slim margins. Moon did not announce she had won, and Oliver did not concede.[95][96][97] Moon said she contacted Farrell, Hasegawa, McGinn, and Oliver to begin discussing working together. Oliver signaled that if Moon moved to the general she would support Moon, while the others are waiting for the final results.[96]

King County Elections certified the final result on August 15, with no significant changes from the late running totals, and Durkan and Moon remaining in the winning first and second positions. The 1,170 vote margin between Oliver and Moon met one of the criteria for an automatic recount, a separation of 2,000 or fewer votes, but the 0.63 percentage point difference was greater than the second criterion, a 0.5 or smaller percentage point margin. Oliver conceded after the results were announced, but did not endorse either Durkan or Moon, and said the Peoples Party would not be making any endorsements.[98][99]

candidates whether endorsed by any party or not to appear on the general election ballot along with a write in space Washington elections have been vote by mail in every county since 1990 7 Since

Mayor of Seattle during the 2013 mayoral election defeating incumbent Mike McGinn 12 During Murray s first term in office Seattle adopted a 15 hourly minimum wage a citywide preschool program a large transportation funding measure and reforms within the Seattle Police Department after intervention from the United States Department of Justice 3 13 Ed Murray abuse lawsuit edit In early April several months before the primary election a lawsuit was filed against Mayor Ed Murray alleging sexual abuse of the plaintiff as a minor in the 1980s in exchange for drug money 14 The allegations were denied by Murray who initially said he would fight the suit and carry on his campaign but decided to withdraw a month later because he said the Mayor s race should be about the needs of the city not a scandal which it would be focused on if I were to remain in 15 The Seattle Times editorial board had said they feared dealing with the allegations during an election would weaken Murray to the point that an extreme left wing ideologue could become Mayor so Murray should withdraw from the race to clear the way for another qualified pragmatic leader to come forward 16 The Stranger alt weekly said that even though The Times mentioned Kshama Sawant as the kind of mayor they feared they really meant lawyer and Black Lives Matter activist Nikkita Oliver 17 Murray ended his campaign on May 9 after

the total or 31 366 votes finishing 1 170 votes or 0 63 percentage points behind Moon The size of the top two candidates leads shrank slightly as the daily counts were announced but not enough to change the outcome None of the three conceded or claimed victory until final tally None of the leading candidates eliminated in the primary Oliver Farrell O Brien or Hasegawa had made any endorsements at that point The first day s preliminary count after the August 1 primary was 88 950 ballots 19 18 of the 463 660 ballots sent to registered voters 92 The leaders in this initial count were Jenny Durkan with 27 579 votes or 31 6 of the ballots counted so far Cary Moon with 13 583 or 15 56 and Nikkita Oliver with 12 126 or 13 9 Jessyn Farrell had 10 308 votes 11 81 Bob Hasegawa 7 526 8 62 and Mike McGinn 6 247 7 16 The remaining 15 candidates and write ins totaled 9 899 votes or 11 3 92 The Seattle Times KUOW radio and other local media predicted after the initial count of about half what King County said was the expected turnout that Seattle s next mayor would be a woman for the first time since Bertha Knight Landes was elected 91 years before in 1926 1 They said Durkan appeared certain to have her name on the general election ballot while Moon and Oliver and perhaps Farrell were in a toss up to make it through the primary 1 The Stranger predicted that in the likely event of Moon or Oliver facing Durkan in the general Seattle s mayoral race will once again pit an establishment politician with deep Democratic ties against an outsider whose political influence grew from activism whom Crosscut com called darlings of the left 93 1 Erica C Barnett called the result a rejection of backward looking taking back Seattle Hasegawa and keeping Seattle McGinn 94 By August 8 local media said Durkan and Moon appeared certain to have their names on the general election ballot with 186 784 ballots counted representing 40 28 of registered voters and about 1 200 Seattle ballots left Most of the remaining ballots were awaiting signature challenges Oliver had begun a campaign of ballot chasing encouraging supporters whose ballots had been challenged to contact the elections office to defend them Durkan and Moon said they supported Oliver s efforts to make sure every vote is counted Durkan with 27 96 was still secure in her position while Moon s lead over Oliver had decreased to 1 362 larger than the number of remaining ballots After an election is certified a recount is mandatory when candidates are separated by very slim margins Moon did not announce she had won and Oliver did not concede 95 96 97 Moon said she contacted Farrell Hasegawa McGinn and Oliver to begin discussing working together Oliver signaled that if Moon moved to the general she would support Moon while the others are waiting for the final results 96 King County Elections certified the final result on August 15 with no significant changes from the late running totals and Durkan and Moon remaining in the winning first and second positions The 1 170 vote margin between Oliver and Moon met one of the criteria for an automatic recount a separation of 2 000 or fewer votes but the 0 63 percentage point difference was greater than the second criterion a 0 5 or smaller percentage point margin Oliver conceded after the results were announced but did not endorse either Durkan or Moon
