2012 / Election Harrell Won't Challenge Smith (Says Smith)
Posted by Goldy on Fri, Jan 6, 2012 at 5:46 PM
Late yesterday, the Seattle Times reported that Bruce Harrell, the only majority-minority member of Seattle's majority-majority city council, was mulling a challenge to US Rep. Adam Smith in Washington's new majority-minority 9th Congressional District. Well, according to Smith—who visited The Stranger's offices today—apparently not.
"It was a misunderstanding," according to Smith, who says he talked to Harrell this morning. Neither Harrell nor "top pundit" Eli Sanders were available for comment.

"the only majority-minority member of Seattle's majority-majority city council" is quite possibly one of the best lines I have ever read.
