This week on the show we have the second half of the Consultant Roundtable, featuring Consultants Riall Johnson of Prism Consulting, Michael Charles of Upper Left Strategies, and Heather Weiner discussing the results of the primary elections, and what we can expect from the general election in November. Discussion points include the Kathy Lambert\\u2019s risks in the King County Council race, the upset in the City Attorney\\u2019s race, the possibility of having abolitionists both on the Seattle City Council and in the City Attorney\\u2019s office, the low hanging fruit that is Senator Reuven Carlyle, the frequent mischaracterization of Seattle voters as being far more conservative than they actually are, and the fact that real live Republicans exist in King County.

As always, a full text transcript of the show is available below and at officialhacksandwonks.com.
