I've lost considerable respect for Jim McDermott for inserting himself into the race in the 46th. He is not a resident nor a voter in the 46th and knows little about the slate of people vying to fill the House seat. I deeply wish he had stayed out of it.
Well, Javier is obviously starting to grow on me, because other than Justin Simmons, he's the only person on this list who seems up to the job.
Although, I'll admit I have no idea who the hell Sly, Tatsuko, and Dusty are. With those bitchin' names, after they lose the PCO election, they could maybe start a band.
Pollett equals yuck. Big ego. Big Old White Establishment Guy. Big Stand on the Children -- anti-teacher's union-- activist. No. No. No. Gabe is all friendly n stuff but does not seem ready for prime time. Sarajane? Party activist does not equal party appointee. Simmons? Maybe. He dresses up well and has the dem biz folks downtown. Perhaps Cann for the sympathy vote. McDermott inserting himself in the race was tacky. Demerits for Valdez.
Justin Simmons has decided not to run for the open House seat. He is joining Congressman Jim McDermott, former 46th District Sen. Ken Jacobsen, 46th District Rep. Phyllis Gutierrez Kenney and other district leaders in support of Javier Valdez.
Will Jay Inslee weigh in to represent those of us fortunate enough to not be part of the 7th CD?
That said, I think he would be a prime asset in Olympia.
