Seattle's Katie Wilson & NYC's Zohran Mamdani Say No More Politics As Usual! MTC On Jeff Santos Show

The success of Zohran Mamdani and Katie Wilson's democratic socialist campaigns for mayor have shocked the political establishment in both cities. Journalist/musician Mark Taylor-Canfield and Jeff Santos discuss the implications for the US political system and the Democratic party, Santos calls for a return to FDR style populist politics. MTC claims that many young voters do not believe that their interests are being served by either of the two major parties, so they are turning to socialism. Mark's article on Katie Wilson published at Democracy Watch News: https://democracywatchnews.org/2025/1... On election night MTC had a chance to interview Seattle's democratic socialist candidate for Mayor. Katie Wilson led in the polls throughout the election over incumbent Bruce Harrell. Wilson was cast as a strident newcomer to the political scene while Harrell was seen as the establishment candidate. Wilson's grassroots campaign struck a populist tone invoking affordability, housing, mass transit, childcare and progressive taxes. National media have compared her insurgent campaign with Zohran Mamdani's surprising rise to power in New York City. Both are self-described socialists. Wilson and Mamdani are challenging the Democratic party as well as Republicans. They represent change at a time when democracy is at risk.
