Socialist Sawant wins City Council seat

Seattle City Council candidate Kshama Sawant, a "Socialist Alternative" insurgent, has unseated four-term incumbent Richard Conlin, with the latest batch of mail-in ballots nearly tripling Sawant's lead to 1,148 votes.
A year ago, Sawant was running against the Legislature's most powerful Democrat, House Speaker Frank Chopp, charging that the "Democratic Party-majority government" had slashed billions from education programs while bestowing tax exemptions on "rich corporations."
