Seattle 市长 Katie Wilson 发表选举声明：交通提案获压倒性支持，选民拒绝废除百万富翁税
位于华盛顿州金县的 Seattle 市市长 Katie Wilson 11月4日就11月3日选举结果发表声明，称选民就 Seattle、华盛顿州乃至全美发出了明确信息：希望政府为工薪人群而战、让生活更可负担。她指出，Seattle 交通提案在本地获得压倒性支持，选民希望拥有世界级的公共交通，让开车成为一种选择而非必需。
Wilson 表示，她很高兴将与市议会新同事 Nilu Jenks 合作，为第五区与全市居民服务。她同时对选民拒绝废除「百万富翁税」表示欣喜，称该措施数年后将为全州的校园免费餐食提供资金，Seattle 在这一年里走在了前面。
她还表示，Seattle 维护跨性别儿童的权利，她将持续关注全州范围内 I-638 倡议的计票进展。
Wilson 说，今年 Seattle 市政厅首次设立投票中心，大厅里排满行使投票权的市民，令她深受鼓舞；她期待与各级政府新老同僚合作，把这一愿景落实到 Seattle 居民的日常生活中。

Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson Celebrates Transit Measure Support and Election Momentum in Post-Election Statement
Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson, of King County, Washington, issued a statement on November 4 on the November 3 election results, saying voters in Seattle, in Washington State and across the country sent a clear message that they want government to fight for working people and make life more affordable. Locally, she said, the Seattle Transit Measure won landslide support, with voters wanting world-class public transit that makes driving a choice, not a necessity.
Wilson said she is excited to begin working with her newest colleague on the City Council, Nilu Jenks, to deliver for the residents of District 5 and the whole city. She also said she is thrilled to see voters reject the repeal of the Millionaire Tax, a measure that in a few years will fund universal school meals across the state, adding that Seattle led the way this year.
She said Seattle affirms and stands up for the rights of trans kids, and that she will be watching the continuing statewide vote count on I-638.
Wilson noted that Seattle hosted a Vote Center for the first time this year in City Hall, and that the packed lobby of residents exercising their right to vote filled her with hope. She said she looks forward to working with colleagues new and old at all levels of government to deliver results for Seattle.
