Seattle’s self-styled socialist and populist mayoral candidate Katie Wilson has been exposed by Seattle's left-leaning NPR affiliate KUOW as the latest “nepo baby” in progressive politics, revealing that her image as a struggling working-class renter masks a privileged background and steady financial support from her professor parents in New York.
In a profile titled “Katie Wilson Can Barely Afford to Live in Seattle. That’s Why She Wants to Be Mayor,” KUOW reported that Wilson, 43, receives regular checks from her parents to help pay for childcare, which she said costs roughly $2,200 per month. When asked how much money she receives, Wilson admitted she didn’t keep track and wouldn’t specify an amount, saying only that the checks arrive every few months.
