Election results for “City of Seattle” mayoral race. Total ballots counted: 98,339; registered voters: 501,438; turnout: 19.61%. Candidates: • Joe Mallahan: 4,640 votes (4.82%) • Ry Armstrong: 996 votes (1.04%) • Isaiah Willoughby: 473 votes (0.49%) • Bruce Harrell: 43,160 votes (44.86%) • Clinton Bliss: 1,275 votes (1.33%) • Thaddeus Whelan: 424 votes (0.44%) • Joe Molloy: 402 votes (0.42%) • Katie Wilson: 44,457 votes (46.21%) • Write-in: 386 votes (0.40%).
For the 4th time in a year, Seattle voters made their preference for more progressive governance clear.
In the mayoral race, Katie Wilson leads the moderate incumbent mayor Bruce Harrell.
Wilson’s opponents tactics of painting progressives as extreme may have gotten stale. #SEAelex #WAvotes

Let's attack them for their policies, and leave how they choose to dress out of it... #auspol #ausvotes #wavotes
We should countenance the notion that Price didn’t gaffe; it was a deliberate dog whistle.
The extent of her screwup was she didn’t expect the press pack to call her on it out in the open.
But she’s doubtless glad, once the dust settled, that they did.

The guy behind this #BoonjiSpaceman imbroglio wants to be the next WA Premier.

One Nation and Green prefs just get IND (10.2%) over Lib (15.1%) and into the final two from fourth in Thornlie. ON flow to IND is so strong here. elections.wa.gov.au/elections/st... #wavotes
It’s official, Baz elected head viper in nest of vipers #wavotes
Praise the Lord

They went for Baz. May the WA Liberal Party remain irrelevant for a generation or more, huzzah. #wavotes #auspol

Liberals win Kalamunda by 82 votes after recount, securing opposition status by a whisker. #wavotes
Kalamunda to be recounted tomorrow. Provisionally Liberals have won by 83 votes, this is unlikely to be overturned by the recount. #wavotes
As a WA voter, it would really make 2025 if Nationals became the Opposition again. The ultimate humiliation for a Liberal Party that didn’t listen #wavotes
Some initial analysis of the 2025 WA election comparing the results by party with when Labor was elected to office in 2017. The result was worse for the Liberal Party in votes, and considerably worse in terms of seats. antonygreen.com.au/2025-western... #wavotes
Absolutely thrilled to bits that Brough was defeated in Albany. May he wallow in obscurity and Medical Board investigation forever. #wavotes
Scott Leary haunts Liberal preselection choice, claiming Albany for WA Nationals www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03... #wavotes #wapol
Anyone know who the official Opposition will be in #wavotes ? How is it decided? Nationals and Liberals have six seats each.
Time to form a coalition or Libs will be extinct next election. Baz may not be Opposition leader after all 😂 www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03...
clever move by mettam.
i give big nose 12 mths.
she’ll be the 2029 candidate.
pin this tweet.

The position for WA Liberal leader is up for grabs, with incumbent Libby Mettam announcing she will be stepping aside. It comes after the party suffered its second worst state election defeat ever on March 8. www.abc.net.au/news/2025-03... #wapol #wavotes live updates
WA Labor isn’t even trying to pretend it’s green. Newly elected member for Bibra Lake straight from mining industry management to Legislative Assembly. Oh, and Daddy is a director of a Nauru phosphate mining company and Labor donor #wavotes sookyeelai.com.au
Mayor Baz probably had more impact on state politics at City of Perth, which basically only covers the CBD and Kings Park, than he will in state parliament - even if he does become Oppo Leader #wavotes
WA. Big country, big mining, big pastoral, big gas, big Fatbergs. #wavotes www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...
