Everyone lervs him:

We endorsed O’Brien because he’s the most effective, progressive member of the city council, and we opposed his challenger, Albert Shen, because Shen’s a clueless, anti-transit, anti-bike-lane, anti-pot-legalization stuffed suit who recently said he wants to pass a law that criminalizes aggressive panhandling—Shen is so unbelievably out of touch that he doesn’t know Seattle already has a law that makes it illegal to panhandle aggressively—and got 58 percent of his money from outside of Seattle. No wonder everybody lervs O’Brien.
