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.

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[...]
