Washington State Candidate Recommendations

[sarmonster]

OK, here's the list I promised. Feel free to contact me with any questions, this isn't a complete list and I will add to it as we get more responses.

These are mostly JUST candidates that have publicly supported Wolf PAC's call for an amendment convention, or opponents of those who voted against us, so the Democrat districts will favor incumbents and none of the senators got to vote.   Most of these guys voted party line, some were brave enough to cross, and we've had conservative senators express support.  Getting big money out of politics is a bipartisan issue that spans 96% of the population and is the FIRST thing we have to fix.

As far as NATIONAL candidates go, I suggest the DRIP policy (Don't reelect incumbent politicians).

US Senate: running against Murray is fellow Wolf PAC volunteer Phil Cornell, a self-proclaimed Berniecrat. Jeremy Teuton is also supportive.

Congressional Districts:

1. Stafne (Berniecrat), Storms -Spoke to personally
2. LaPointe
3. David McDevitt (Berniecrat), Moeller (voted for HJM4000)
4. Sorry, i got nuthin, don't vote for the incumbent.
5. Joe Pakootas, Dave Wilson -says he is supportive as well.
6. Coverdale
7. Walkinshaw, Jayapal -Both voted for HJM4000
8. Ventrella
9. Daniel Smith
10. Ferguson

Superintendant: CHRIS REYKDAHL!  He went out of his way to support us and put a LOT of effort into HJM4000.

Governor: O'Rourke -Supportive of issue.  This one's important, do your reading on gubernatorial candidates please.

Lt. Governor: Cyrus Habib I LOVE Steve Hobbs, but Habib actively supported us in committee

Treasurer: Marko Liias. If you lean conservative I've also spoken with Waite, who says he is supportive, an aussie with a lot of experience.

Auditor: Miloscia

Districts:

1. Moscoso, Stanford, Wright
