Michael J. Maddux, a party man for the 43rd District Democrats, filed to run for School Board Director District Number 3 last Friday, but his candidacy was short-lived. Maddux initially declared to run for School Board to unseat the incumbent, Harium Martin-Morris, whom Maddux accused of being a “failure for children.” But Maddux says today that he intends to withdraw from the race and endorse his former opponent, Michelle Buetow.
He didn’t want to split the anti-incumbent vote. “I think Buetow will consider what’s best for the kids instead of just what’s best for the administration,” says Maddux, citing Buteow’s positions on textbooks and Teach for America as strong points.
This sudden turn of events makes me wonder if Maddux is exactly what David Blomstrom accuses all Seattle of being: a corporate whorehouse.
Huh?
“But he Maddox says today” … are you sure this isn’t the India-produced AP wire?
Just because Michael is wrong on the Tunnel doesn’t mean he’s THAT much of a sellout.
Define “party man”. I’m not sure exactly what that’s alluding to…
If Michael’s a corporate whorehouse, where are the whores?
@4 – Maybe Seattle is the whorehouse, and I’m one of the whores?
@5 depends – do the billionaires pay you in Krugerrands or in golden eagles?
I can see why you are unpaid. This makes zero sense.
You know you have a broken voting system when a candidate voluntarily withdraws from a race just to avoid spoiler effects. American democracy at all levels needs to adopt a new default voting system.
