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

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.

Yeah, Randy Dorn's a good guy alright. He tried to persuade lawmakers to pass legislation that would fatten pensions - for just two people, Randy Dorn and a fellow union lobbyist.

At least Dorn is right on the issues - all one of them. Like just about everyone except Terry Bergeson, Dorn opposes the WASL. Problem is, Dorn is part of the team that dumped the WASL on us in the first place. He realized his mistake just in time for this election.

Randy Dorn could be Terry Bergeson's twin brother. They both reek.
