King County Assessor Apologizes and Won't Seek Reelection

King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson has apologized for his behavior earlier this year and announced he won't run for reelection.

I want to make my sincere apology to my former fiancée, Lee Keller. I fell short of the standards of behavior I have always tried to practice. I ask her forgiveness.

Wilson also apologized to his friends, colleagues, and the public, stating he let them down. His former fiancée, Lee Keller, was granted a temporary restraining order against him, and he was arrested outside her home in July on suspicion of stalking.

A text from Keller to KUOW confirmed all legal action has been dismissed.
