Seattle Mayor Mike McGinn broke an incumbent record last month: His office sent more press releases in a single month than the previous three incumbent mayors sent in any single month leading up to their primary elections.
McGinn's office issued 28 press releases, advisories or statements last month — based on the list from the seattle.gov website.) That's 1.2 press releases for each of the 23 workdays in May, more than McGinn's predecessor Mayor Greg Nickels sent out in the run-up to his re-election primaries in 2009 or 2005, and more than Mayor Paul Schell issued in any month leading up to his 2001 primary.
