Seattle City Councilmember Kshama Sawant is going national.

The Council's most senior member and only socialist says she will launch a national movement to support workers instead of running for re-election.

The Stranger's Rich Smith will break down the councilwoman's legacy and what it might mean for the city when she's gone.
