Victorious Murray ready to show ‘government can work again’

Source: Seattle Times

State Sen. Ed Murray’s promise of a more collaborative leadership style carried him to victory Tuesday night in Seattle’s mayoral race, as voters signaled they were fed up with four years of Mayor Mike McGinn’s political brawls.

Murray grabbed a commanding 56 percent of the votes counted on election night, compared with 43 percent for McGinn.

At a jubilant party at Neumos on Capitol Hill, Murray took the stage before 9 p.m. to cheers from supporters, including a pack of elected leaders who’d endorsed him.

Signaling the change in tone he hopes to bring to City Hall, Murray said his campaign “was energized by the belief that Seattle can show the nation that government can work once again.”

Noticed from the same link that Eyeman's latest initative, one of his many Nordquist scams, failed.

Good for WA.

His office has a sign with 'Starve the Beast' on it.

He's done nothing but work of the Koch brothers to dismantle state government in Washington state to be stolen by corporations.

I wish he could be sent to jail for all the trouble he's caused.
