I received my Washington State Primary ballot today in the mail. Is there any Washington kossacks here who would like to help me out with my decisions? I'm in the 17th District. I already know that I'm voting Patty Murray--duh--and Brian Baird for my Rep. But I'm still not sure on Governor. I lean toward Gregoire--and I'm pretty sure she's going to win it anyway--but Sims seems interesting, too. I'm intrigued by his tax plan, though the no taxes on businesses leaves me a bit leery. Also, any opinions on the Attorney General race? Senn or Sidran? Why?
I'm going with Waadevig for State Senator in the 17th. For State Rep (Position 1) I'm not sure if I should go Ferrell or Campbell. I know Ferrell's name more, but that doesn't mean she's the better candidate. And hey, if anyone wants to throw out an opinion on County Commissioner (Harris or Hagensen--yeah, yeah, I know I'm getting obscure now) then that would be great.
I'm going to do some research on my own, of course, but any opinions here from locals would be greatly appreciated. You can talk issues, electability or both--whatever you think is relevant. Thanks!
