Picks for Primary Election

People ask me about my picks for the primary. If you care, here they are. For some races I have two picks, where I like both candidates.

U.S. Congress, District 1: Larry Ishmael
U.S. Congress, District 2: Rick Bart
Governor: Dino Rossi
Lt. Governor: Marcia McCraw or Jim Wiest
Secretary of State: Sam Reed
State Treasurer: Allan Martin
State Auditor: Brian Sonntag or Dick McIntee
Attorney General: Rob McKenna
Commissioner of Public Lands: Doug Sutherland
Superintendent of Public Instruction: Randy Dorn
Insurance Commissioner: John Adams

Supreme Court Justice Pos. 3: Michael Bond
Snohomish Superior Court Judge, Pos. 6: George Appel
Snohomish Superior Court Judge, Pos. 8: David Hulbert

District 39 Senator: Val Stevens
District 39 Representative, Pos. 1: Dan Kristiansen
District 39 Representative, Pos. 2: Kirk Pearson

District 1 Senator: Dennis Richter
District 10 Senator: Linda Haddon
District 10 Representative, Pos. 1: Norma Smith
District 10 Representative, Pos. 2: Barbara Bailey
District 21 Representative, Pos. 1: Brian Travis or Douglas Kerley
District 21 Representative, Pos. 2: Andrew Funk
District 32 Representative, Pos. 1: Alex Rion
District 44 Representative, Pos. 1: Larry Countryman
District 44 Representative, Pos. 2: Mike Hope


A few comments may be worthwhile. I am not a big fan of Randy Dorn, but he seems like a good guy who knows what he is doing, and that he has the best chance to unseat Terry Bergeson. Brian Sonntag is a Democrat, but I think he has done a pretty good job in the face of a Democratic government. I also think Dick McIntee would do a very fine job. I think we will be well-served with either of them. I like Charles Johnson but am not crazy about him, and am considering voting for Beecher or Vulliet.

State Senator Val Stevens Decries Burning of Campaign Signs

From a press release.

39th District State Senator Val Stevens (R-Arlington), called the burning of her campaign signs “senseless vandalism which has no place in the political process.” Stevens, who is running for her fourth term in the State Senate, lives in Arlington with her husband, Keith.



It was Keith Stevens who filed a malicious mischief complaint with the Skagit Valley Sheriff’s Department about the sign burning. The vandalism occurred to signs in southern Skagit County in the area of Old Pacific Highway near County Line Road according to the Senator’s husband.



Senator Stevens said, “Sometimes kids will knock over campaign signs especially as it gets closer to Halloween. But in this case, my signs have been deliberately set on fire.” She added, “This appears to be specifically directed at me because signs of other candidates in the same vicinity are being left alone.” She released photos of several of her signs which have been burned.



Stevens called destruction of these signs, “not only vandalism but an infringement on the right of political free speech as well.” She said, “Campaign signs help voters become more aware of the political process so they can make more intelligent choices when marking their ballots.” She continued, “By burning my signs, those responsible for this vandalism are not only hurting my campaign, they are attacking the integrity of the election process itself.”
