This week…  An old frenemy of Seattle politics popped up on the national scene… Hello, Kshama Sawant. It’s endorsement season, and we have two experts from both sides of the process to talk about it. And if you thought YOU were seeing a lot of political ads, try asking your dog what they’ve seen lately. Stranger News Editor Rich Smith and political strategist Sandeep Kaushik are here to break down the week. We can only make Seattle Now because listeners support us. You have the power!
