She left her federal job because of Trump. Now she's running for office to fight his policies
Becoming a federal prosecutor was a longtime professional dream for Erika Evans, one she achieved nearly four years ago.

She quit in March. Now, she’s running to become the city attorney in Seattle.
Evans is among what some Democratic groups identify as a growing trend: Former federal officials alienated by Trump’s remaking of the federal government deciding to run for office themselves. Those groups are actively recruiting current federal employees as well as those who were fired or left voluntarily, betting that they will make good messengers against Republicans.
