Katie Wilson, a self-described socialist, has also accused Israel of “genocide” and said she’s open to boycotting the Jewish state.
(Oct. 23, 2025 / JNS) Almost two weeks after the Council on American-Islamic Relations endorsed Katie Wilson, who beat Seattle Mayor Bruce Harrell by nearly 10 percentage points in the Aug. 5 primary, the mayoral hopeful still doesn’t list CAIR among nearly 50 organizational endorsements on her campaign site.
Wilson, who is “fine with being called a socialist,” lists the American Muslim Advancement Council on her endorsement page. (JNS sought comment from Wilson’s campaign.)
The co-founder and executive director of the Transit Riders Union has faced scrutiny on the legitimacy of her endorsements after she was accused of faking an endorsement from black civil rights leader Claude Burfect.
