Socialist Seattle City Council Member Appeals Recall Effort. It’s Now Going To The Washington Supreme Court.

Self-described “socialist” Seattle Councilwoman Kshama Sawant’s recall fight is heading to the Washington Supreme Court.

In August, a petition circulated to recall Sawant outlining six allegations against the city councilwoman. In September, King County Superior Court Judge Jim Rogers dismissed two of the six charges against Sawant, relating to her involvement in the Capitol Hill Organized Protest (CHOP), a short-lived “reclamation” of Seattle’s East Precinct that resulted in numerous crimes, including multiple shootings.
