A couple new PACs have entered the Seattle mayoral chat, marking the inevitable expansion of a race to raise and spend record-setting amounts of cash to influence voters before the primary election deadline on August 3.
Last week Seattle United for Progressive Change filed with the Seattle elections committee, and this week brings us New Generation Leaders PAC. Seattle United will raise money on behalf of former Washington state Rep. Jessyn Farrell, and New Generations will do the same for former Chief Seattle Club director Colleen Echohawk.
