EXCERPT:
Sawant was stranded in third place with just 13 percent, barely ahead of fellow far-left candidate Melissa Chaudhry.
Marxist former Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant’s attempted political comeback appears to have ended in humiliation after voters boxed her out of Washington’s 9th Congressional District general election.
Rep. Adam Smith, Washington’s longest-serving member of Congress, led Tuesday’s primary with approximately 51 percent of the vote. Republican Doug Basler held second place with 24 percent, putting the two on course for a November matchup. Sawant was stranded in third place with just 13 percent, barely ahead of fellow far-left candidate Melissa Chaudhry.
The Associated Press called the race for Washington’s 9th District, which includes portions of South Seattle, Bellevue, Renton, Kent, Federal Way, and surrounding communities.
