The SECB did NOT endorse Suzan DelBene in 2012, but the people elected her anyway—against our express orders—but in the past six years, DelBene has done enough good to earn our endorsement this year. Immediately after Trump’s election, she introduced a bill that would ban the creation of any kind of registry based on religion, something Trump had floated to his braying fans on the campaign trail. While DelBene’s bill was more symbolic than serious (and died in committee), the SECB appreciates deft political symbolism every once in a while. Plus, fuck Trump.
