Another article:

Wilson primarily campaigned on expanding workers’ rights, addressing the homelessness crisis in Seattle, and creating more affordable housing through social housing, rent control, and using public land for affordable development.

Meanwhile, Kshama Sawant is running for congress in Washington’s 9th Congressional district (central/south Seattle and its southeast suburbs).

Not to say such knowledge gaps can't limit her effectiveness, but from what (little) I've read and heard of her, she seems to be fundamentally a community organizer and as mayor will probably work accordingly: She may or may not successfully make up for such gaps by knowing whom to trust both integrity- and competence-wise.
