In 2015, I finished 16 points ahead of my Primary percentage total in the General Election for Council. If Susan Honda can do one point, or maybe a couple of points, less than that in the Mayoral election, she wins, so if I were placing odds in Las Vegas, I would not automatically assume that the Federal Way mayor's election is settled just because Mayor Ferrell received a fairly comfortable majority of the vote in the Primary.
By the way, I like Honda's and Noble-Gulliford's practical management ideas and, impliedly, through their multi-family housing policies, keeping Federal Way's size in check; in other words, not growing larger than what's responsible. If our (R.C.P.'s) endorsement for them seems somewhat out-of-sync about what I said about overall housing unity in my mayoral campaign, the nuance in understanding that is, basically, that what's already here, we need to ensure that the same rules apply to all, but that doesn't mean Federal Way needs to expand beyond what the city can responsibly handle.
I'm not committing, just yet, to starting a Position 6 Council write-in campaign (you'll know if you see a PDC report flash up), but if I do, I can assure you that it will be better managed than the mayoral race. The mayoral race was really bad timing for me, due to some unexpected personal demands that took away from the time that I devoted to it, but I did my best. Those demands are pretty much gone, now. In more ways than one, nothing's written in stone, yet.
Addendum: By the way, did you notice that would-be qualifiers for "Top 2" in Position 4 got a headline in the Mirror tabloid within hours of the first results coming out, but when I finished 2nd in 2015, I got nothing except trash writing from "Rogue-ner" & "Mr. Anonymous," at least for the first several weeks, and if my memory serves me right, pretty much nothing throughout the entire General Election.
