Katie Wilson, who graduated second in her class from Binghamton High School in 2000, just became the next mayor of Seattle, according to WIVT.
Wilson, a democratic socialist, beat out incumbent Bruce Harrell in a tight race after topping Seattle’s non-partisan primary back in August.
She’s pushing for universal childcare, improved transit, safer streets, and affordable housing—and she’s the daughter of two Binghamton University professors.
