Over the weekend, I confronted Seattle mayoral candidate Katie Wilson about her Transit Riders Union’s ties to controversial far-left activist group Stop The Sweeps Seattle. They’ve been a thorn in the side of Mayor Bruce Harrell since the beginning of his administration.
The groups were making so-called “harm reduction” kits for homeless drug addicts which usually includes meth pipes and fentanyl foil. Some critics call these “suicide kits” and believe it enables drug addiction and death.
I also asked Wilson if she would use sweeps to clear drug encampments in the city.
Wilson Believes in Harm Reduction
It’s unclear if Wilson attended this volunteer event. But she has stated in the past that she believes in the “harm reduction” approach to helping homeless drug addicts on the streets.

The Harrell administration knows Stop The Sweeps Seattle very well. Check out the thread.
