Bruce Harrell wins mayoral race, as Gonzalez concedes following latest vote tally
Lorena Gonzalez officially conceded on Thursday evening, with Bruce Harrell now ticketed to be Seattle’s next mayor.
The gap between Harrell and Gonzalez Gonzalez had closed slightly with Thursday’s vote tally, although Harrell still maintained a sizable 61% to 38% advantage.
Harrell held a 30-point advantage after the initial election night tallies, and was up 64% to 35% after Wednesday’s count.
“With today’s ballot drop, it’s clear that Bruce Harrell will be the next Mayor of Seattle,” Gonzalez said in her concession statement. “Earlier, I called him to congratulate him on a hard-fought race and wished him much luck in his efforts to make progress on the challenges Seattle faces.”
