King County Assessor John Arthur Wilson has apologized for his behavior earlier this year, which led to his arrest and prompted him to suspend his campaign.
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 that he let them down. His former fiancée, Lee Keller, was granted a temporary restraining order against him, and he was arrested outside her Seattle home in July on suspicion of stalking.
According to Keller, all legal action has been dismissed. Wilson announced that he will not run for reelection for his current job in a Facebook post on Tuesday.
