It's time: Rep. Mike Sells says he won't seek re-election
OLYMPIA — Mike Sells, an Everett lawmaker whose roots in public education and the labor movement powered him to become an influential voice for both, will not seek re-election this year.
Sells, 76, a Democrat in his ninth term representing the 38th Legislative District, was instrumental in cementing Washington State University’s presence in Everett, launching a nursing degree program at UW Bothell and strengthening workplace protections and collective bargaining rights across the state.
He made the announcement at a Washington State Labor Council conference last week.
“I will not be seeking another term. I wanted to announce here because this is my home to a certain extent,” he told attendees. “I am getting old and it is time I think for me to retire. I am confident that we have the people who can carry the torch.”
