Corinne Potter, (Technocrat) 17.2% - Howard Cannon was the surprise Technocratic nominee, that is until he wound up dead on a Snohomish street.Nikola Taul, (Democrat) 19.4% - The high profile, charismatic, Mayor of the Downtown District, She has the name recognition and she’s kept Downtown looking good and feeling safe, which the corps appreciate, but she has also spent a lot of public money, which they don’t.So who’s running? Here are the eight candidates, listed according to their standing in the latest December polls. It also opened the field to some candidates that would never even be on the ballot in a “normal” election year. The short election cycle also prevented most from vetting the candidates or deciding who their best choice actually was. In fact none or the megacorps (except perhaps Horizon) had even thought to start grooming a successor. They were expecting him to maintain the status quo for at least another four years and no one was prepared for his abrupt departure. The megacorps and other powers-that-be were caught off-guard by Brackhaven’s exit. The Commissioner of Public Works, Natoko Munakata was sworn in as interim governor, but she made it clear that she was not interested in a regular term as governor and did not put her name forward as a candidate. The Election - After Brackhaven’s abrupt departure, Seattle descended into a half-year of turmoil. So if you really want to understand how the entire affair developed, you’ll have to look over the Operation Daybreak / Project Freedom Timeline. The history of all these various scandals start way back in 2072 and most have their roots tightly interwoven with Project Freedom and Proposition 23. The charges against Brackhaven primarily include his involvement in the Operation Daybreak Scandal as well as the Parker-Quinn Embezzlement Scandal, the Edmund Jeffries Disappearance, the Sunset Vacations ad-buy scam and the cover-up of the Copycat Mayan Cutter Murders along with another dozen less well-publicized scandals. He Turned State’s Evidence earlier this year and handed his "insurance policy" over to DA Oaks as part of a plea deal. Emile Corrigan, the governor’s Chief of Staff, had been collecting documents for years that prove Brackhaven's involvement in hundreds of crimes. So what led to Governor Brackhaven walking away from his life in Seattle and fleeing to a private island in the Caribbean League? The word is that District Attorney Dana Oaks finally got her hands on the hard evidence she needed for a grand jury indictment to stick.
