Vote Sawant
[edit]In 2012, Seattle Central Community College and Seattle University economics professor Kshama Sawant is running for election as a Socialist Alternative candidate in the 43rd district of the Washington House of Representatives against incumbent Democrat Frank Chopp.[2][3] Sawant advanced past the primaries with an unprecedented write-in win for Position 2, while also advancing in Position 1 where she was on the ballot challenging Jamie Pedersen. The Vote Sawant campaign won a subsequent court battle against the Secretary of State for the right to list her party preferance on the ballot in November. The has been endorsed by local 587 of the Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU), union of the city's bus and transit workers [4], as well as the alternative newspaper, The Seattle Stranger.[5]
