I Endorse a Republican: Michael Waite — Republican for Treasurer!

This morning I got an email from Tim Eyman.  His support for a candidate actually gave me reason to endorse a Republican. Michael Waite — Republican for Treasurer! Eyman makes his money off of far right rich folks.  They pay him to influence our elections, especially when it comes to tax [...]

An endorsement for Superintendent of Public Instruction

  Susan Goding Please, please, when the ballots come next month, vote for Erin Jones for Superintendent of Public Instruction. First there was the rumor that Erin is anti-gay, even though she took in two gay youth from her church. Anyone who takes in a child who is rejected by their parents is a s[...]

Pramila Jayapal Too Busy Raising Money In New York to Show Up for a Debate Here!

In a way, this makes sense. Pramila Jayapal’s run isn’t really about the district. It’s about herself. She doesn’t live in the district, and she only jumped into the race once Brady pushed Jim McDermott out…                                       [&hel[...]

I Endorse Darcy Burner

Darcy Burner excites me. In our state where we get the kind of legislators we pay for, she is a real bargain. Darcy is running in District 5 as a rational, realistic candidate against a scion of the GOP establishment, Paul Graves. Mr. Graves seems like a reasonable guy except that, like most Repub[...]

Brady Walkinshaw Is Jayapal’s Opponent

Walkinshaw Pulls Ahead of McDermott in Primary Election Ballots Are still being counted but the dramatic shift of nearly 1000 votes  implies that late voters must have been very pro Brady.  The Ave predicts he will in the number two slot against Jayapal.  I endorsed Brady and am very excited abo[...]

THE Ave Endorses Joe Pakootas for Congress

Joe Pakootas needs your help. Despite the feckless lack of Democratic Party investment in his campaign this outstanding man, a native of the Spokane tribe, has come within 9 points of beating one of the worst Rs, Cathy McMorris Rogers for the fifth Congressional seat in our state!  Better yet, McMo[...]

I Endorse Tina

I have been skeptical that we even need an elected Secretary of State.  It is a regulatory position, why not appoint a non-partisan? Then I met Tina Podlodowski. She is a former Microsoft executive and member of the Seattle City Council. Tina is running against the only Republican elected to a stat[...]

Endorsement: Brady Walkinshaw for Congress

This was not an easy choice. We have two top candidates for this  position, Pramila Jayapal and Brady Walkinshaw. They are both doctrinaire, effective  Seattle liberals .. as blue as the sky we sometimes see in June and as deep blue as those causes we heard so much about from the caste of Democ[...]
