Ann Davison Sattler R
attorney, teacher, 2019 city council candidate
6-29-20 pdc $57k
former Dem, now R
She says she always thought of herself as a Dem, but when she ran for Seattle city council she found herself shut out by progressives.
She sees the Lt Gov position as having become partisan and she’s out to change that. She says it is ‘not welcoming to other ideas.’
policy:
~ fiscal responsibility, good stewardship of tax dollars – cut waste in Olympia, tie programs to actual outcomes
~ political balance – one party has held power too long. They forget to listen.
~ public safety – would never support de-funding police. They’re just trying to shift funds to pet projects. See what happened when Inslee released 1000 inmates under the guise of COVID safety? In reality, the inmates were safer in jail, and they ended up committing violent crimes outside. (Turns out only 350 were released before the State Supreme Court shut down the program, claiming prisons could keep prisoners safe. As of today 7-10-20 there are 263 cases and 2 deaths, primarily at Coyote Ridge)
~ addiction & mental health – need physical and mental health coverage. Need better addiction rehab and mental health care.
~ homelessness – we don’t know who has which problem making them homeless. We don’t know who are the criminals taking advantage of otherwise forgotten people living in tents & makeshift dwellings. We need to get people out of unsafe unsanitary conditions and into shelter. We can use otherwise vacant commercial spaces for temporary housing.
~ COVID – she hopes by the time she takes office there will be a vaccine. She will take a balanced approach to protect both lives and livelihoods.
She’s endorsed by a bunch of legislative Rs.
What I’m not seeing/hearing is an understanding of what the lieutenant governor actually does and how she will fulfill that role. I am underwhelmed.

memberships:
WA Airport Management Assoc, president & board member

American Assoc of Airport Execs, member
WA Business Assoc, current member
Issues:
~ honor veterans & war dead
~ education – full funding of career & tech ed (CTE), integrate CTE in all school districts, invest in 1st year teacher salaries. He cites a list of benefits. Says education has been deteriorating & needs to be brought back up to snuff. He has a long diatribe on this, mostly positive – and then he tells us that Charter Schools are not the Enemy! (his exclamation, not mine)
~ Home Safe/housing – he explains how and why people are losing their homes, and proposes “immediate cash injections to WA State Housing Finance Commission, from the state tax surplus (what surplus would this be?) This would be available to people needing rent assistance. And more specifics.
~ Color – blacks are humans (really?) He mentions that he is the grandfather of 2 very young black children. It is time to stamp out the last remnants of racism. (would he ever have realized this if a child of his hadn’t partnered with a person of color?)
~ Sustainable energy – he “maintains an open mind” on energy issues. Now is the time to pursue green power and renewables while we have the luxury of time to prepare for our future energy needs. (I don’t know what planet he’s on, but on this one we’ve run out of that luxury of time and need to get on it RIGHT NOW.)
- Create a sustainable energy development campus at the site of the failed Satsop nuclear plant.
- Set up biomass plants, but not allow use of wood from old growth & other protected forests.
- Go to Liquid Flouride Thorium Reactor nuclear generation.
(To say that his energy ideas are counterproductive would be a major understatement)
Again, I’m not seeing any description of the job and how he would do it. At least he has some ideas. He is totally wedded to the public/private partnership model, but he does seem to have looked at some of the issues. I still wouldn’t vote for him.
Denny Heck D
congressman, ex-state rep, businessman, ex gubernatorial aide
according to PDC on 6-29-20 has raised over $609k. A lot of max donations, $4k/ea,
Retiring from US House of Reps
“These times urgently call out for public service. As Lieutenant Governor I will provide stability and work to ensure fairness and civility”
Why Denny?
civility, decency, experience – the Lieutenant governor “sets the tone” for debate and decorum in the legislature.
He came from working class people and has been a union business agent for many years. He believes passionately in public schools and has rejected any and all donations from pro-charter school groups.
He will fight for a fair budget that protects the vulnerable and strengthens public schools. He will fight for progressive policies.
He will fight to protect Puget Sound, and has done so in congress. He signed I-1631 & will work on climate change. He has a 96% rating from League of Conservation Voters.
He will fight for tax reform, leading to ‘a more progressive tax system.”
He will fight to increase access to reproductive health care.
He has written 3 books, one on Washington schools, one a mystery, and one a personal memoir. He wrote and performed a 1 man play.
I get the impression of a good hearted mainstream Dem with enviro leanings.

Heck has picked up endorsements from more than 230 current and former elected officials, including former governors Christine Gregoire and Gary Locke.

All in all, not a bad fit. At least he acknowledges some of the issues that matter to me and is not allergic to the term ‘progressive.’ But even he does not demonstrate an understanding of the job description and how he will fill it. I won’t cry if his very large campaign warchest wins him the election, but I won’t be voting for him.
James R Rafferty D
Should State of Washington Legislators get pay increases during a Pandemic? No!
Our focus should be getting people back to work as safely as possible. We have to be creative and listen to new ideas in how we do this as never before.
Should Public Higher Education in Washington State be free from review from Olympia? My answer is No!
For more than 25 years Public Academic Bureaucrats have raised tuition and have had too much authority to create strange degrees and eliminate existing ones. The State of Washington should once again review and regulate Tuition and Degrees and withhold funding for Public Universities that forget they work for the Citizens of the State of Washington. Common Course Numbering and Transfer policies for existing credits a student has completed need to be reviewed and accepted by Higher Education Officials whether they like it or not!
To avoid confusion, I am Clarifying some statements on the Washington State Website. Due to word limitations, the Education section is incorrect.
I have completed 37 credits in Paralegal Study at Edmonds CC. I do not have a Paralegal AA from them. I did apply for a General Studies AA from them but was denied.
I have completed a Certificate of 33 credits in International Trade From North Seattle CC in 1992. I added 16 more science and other credits and have an AA DTA from them in 2004. After 2004, renamed NSC now have new dedicated 2 year and 4 year degrees in International Trade. These are different from the Degree I earned.
My first Arts and Sciences Degree was from Tacoma CC in 1982. Later, I went back and completed a General Studies AA from TCC in 1998.
I have an Associate Development Degree from Green River CC in 1998.
I have an Associate in Applied Science in Network Technology from Cascadia CC in 2004.
I have an Associate in Technology General from Pierce CC. in 2005.
I have applied several times for a 3rd BA in General Studies from the University of Washington, this has met with some resistance and has not been approved.
It took me a long time to find his website, which is very incomplete and not particularly informative. My impression is that he is having a disagreement with higher education officials about the cumulative value of his varied education. That does not strike me as sufficient basis for running for lieutenant governor. Another “also ran”

why Lieutenant governor?
* attend meetings, and hope the governor doesn’t die
* president of the senate
* fills in for the governor
* has a large role in international relations
why vote for you?
I am the only Libertarian. Its time to break the D/R duopoly.
I just checked out his Facebook page and find among the piles of drivel a thread quite upset with the demands for dealing with COVID. Seems a health officer in Spokane held a person in custody who was positive and refused to isolate.
Ran for county commissioner as a Dem in 2016.
Gotta say, at least he does describe the job. That’s a point in his favor. On the other hand, I have a prejudice against police in positions of civil power. And I am most unimpressed with Libertarian ideas. And then there’s the fascinating statement about having a court order to turn over his pugs. One wonders just what that is about.
Hard for me to take this candidate seriously.
Joseph Brumbles R
business manager, family court reform activist, 2018 US rep candidate
*Pro Family, Pro Bill of Rights, Pro School's , Pro Jobs, Pro Lower Taxes, Pro Truth In Politics, Pro Clean & Affordable Energy, Pro Quality Of Life, Pro affordable healthcare, Pro Life, Pro Liberty.
Standing up for our rights. I will fight any unconstitutional legislation. I will never sign any unconstitutional (illegal) legislation as Lt. Governor.
1.) Fair (Lower) Taxes - A Balanced Budget:
By helping to create focus on eliminating wasteful spending and reducing unnecessary government control. I will fight to eliminate the tyrannical tax hikes here in Washington state.
2.) A strong state economy:
By focusing support, for local businesses and by limiting unnecessary business tax. Let's make this state business friendly. This in turn will create many new jobs and strengthen our states economy.
3.) Our Schools - School Safety:
I will do my part to ensure that we eliminate the waste and mismanagement to ensure that our schools and teachers get what they need. I would also like to see our schools primarily controlled and funded at our state level vs. the federal level. This will eliminate a ton of waste and we can better mold the needs of the schools, to what’s needed in our state. (versus a one size fits all direction from the federal government.)
Also I will focus on creating awareness and pushing for policy, that will secure our schools without attacking our constitution, in order to keep our children safe. I will do this by focusing on securing the school buildings themselves. I have spoken with a few security consultants and there are many reasonable, cost effective ways to do this.
4.) Taking Care Of Our Vets:
Our vets are not getting the healthcare that they need and deserve. I will focus on fighting for the vets in our state, so that they can have more choices and receive a much higher quality of care, in many cases, much closer to home.
5.) Clean And Affordable Energy:
I believe and will strive for clean energy, however it also needs to be affordable energy. I am standing for Liberty and in that, for a higher quality of life. We cannot add tax to fossil fuels and penalize people with triple cost energy bills. Energy must be affordable. We can do this by utilizing technology and the free market, among other things. I will be an advocate for common sense, clean and affordable energy within our state.
Hi,
My name is Joseph Brumbles. I am a single father and an oath keeper. In 2018 I ran for US Congress in Washington’s 10th district against Denny Heck. In that race I earned roughly 40% of the votes or 104,000 votes in the general election. I did this with under $10,000 compared to my opponents $1.2 million.
Fast forward to today and it is time for me to make another firm stand. To volunteer to put my life on hold for our greater good. To fight for my childrens futures here in Washington state. I am running for Lt. Governor here in Washington state for "We The People". I believe in truth in politics and delivering on campaign promises.
I am running in order to take a stand for Liberty and to protect our constitutional rights. I am also running to help to ensure "A United Washington." I want this for all people, regardless of age, race, religion, life preferences, etc. I believe in personal Liberty. I am truly a person who wants to be THE representative, for ALL people of Washington state.
I will do everything that I can in order to ensure that our children get to enjoy the same freedoms that we have enjoyed. Being a single father of two daughters and a business leader, I know the struggles of everyday life. I want to take what I have learned from life and use it to help all Washingtonians. I am a constitutional conservative and believe whole heartedly in upholding our constitution. I am confident that I will get the job done as our Lt. Governor.
I will continue to be a true champion for us, "We The People." Enough about me, what about you!? Are you ready to help to take our state back from the oath breakers in 2020!? Are you ready to make a stand!? To be THE difference!?
We are on the political front lines and our entire country is depending on us! We cannot simply move away it WILL follow. We MUST make a stand! Please help me to help us unite as Washingtonians and to move forward. Help to maintain Liberty, so that we can enjoy all of our Constitutional Rights.
I am a fighter, let me fight for us in the most productive way, as our Lt. Governor. Together
let’s focus on people over party, let’s unite,
let’s take our state back from tyranny and
greed. Stand with me.
"A United Washington." -Joseph Brumbles
What can I add to that? The classic R agenda, with a smattering of what he believes to be bones tossed to Dems. Again, he does not define the job or how he will accomplish it. I take that back. He says he will not sign any legislation which he believes violates the constitution – being the great constitutional scholar that he is, he will have no trouble discerning any such violation.
Thanks, but no thanks.
Marty McClendon R
“A Voice for Us”
~ Government Accountability – out of control government bureaucracies that write their own rules, waste taxpayer dollars and do not deliver on service for you.
~ Competitive Pricing to bring free market principles to bear. Hold government accountable for spending. Reign (sic) in out of control spending.
~ Education – he cites to lack of educational success and says “our kids deserve more” but I do not see any proposal.
~ Support Small Business – collaborate with the business community and re-open to restore and restart economic engine. Reduce bureaucratic red tape and costly roadblocks. WA needs to be open for business and get the people back to work.
~ Taxes – we already pay too much. We can’t afford an income tax. They don’t need more tax dollars, they need to invest more wisely.
~ Congestion – don’t focus on mass transit, just add lane miles.
~ Veterans – he loves ‘em
~ Homelessness – causes crime. We need to categorize homeless to match with resources. Collaborate with non-profits and private charities.
~ Housing Affordability & Supply. – its those damned regulations that inflate the price. He has 21 years of real estate and land use experience. Will work on zoning, land use, and streamlining the process. Bring free market principles into play. Expand public/private partnerships.
~ No to Extreme Liberal Policies – Seattle style policies hurt citizens, stifle the economy, lower quality of life.
~ Second Amendment Rights – he will protect gun rights.
~ Healthcare – He’s been there and done that. He will advocate for free market solutions.
~ Strong Families – He will advocate for 2 parent homes for children.
~ Permanent Fund – He will open up logging, keep the snake river dams, remove government intervention in the free market.
realtor, pastor, conspiracy theorist, frequent candidate
Well, this is a great agenda for everything I oppose. I love how he will advocate for 2 parent families. One wonders if that includes two parents of the same gender. And homelessness causes crime and regulations cause a shortage of housing. Oh, don’t get me started. Luckily this is an ‘also ran.’

My main focus is to minimize the financial impact that Taxation has on everybody.

Richard (Dick) Muri R
ex state rep, ex Pierce county councilman, retired USAF Lt Colonel
posts slur take-offs on Biden, a Faux news piece claiming that a Q13 Fox security guard had to disarm 2 “rioters” in Seattle’s CHOP zone, who had stolen police rifles.
Re COVID, phase 5 = vote out Jay Inslee
“Trump’s judicial appointments are among the most qualified in history”
He does seem to respect the virus, advocating for masks and social distancing and avoiding crowded venues.
The man is a classic Trump Republican, full of himself and nasty/ugly with any who disagree. I want to see some basis for the claim that anyone in Seattle stole police rifles. I am deeply offended by such patent lies. I just re-checked his Facebook page and find him praising the Rushmore event, along with a link to R candidates statewide.
I just wonder how such people get into state government at all. He does not appear to address the position for which he is running or have any idea what the job actually entails.
Needless to say, not even on a cold day in hell would I vote for this guy.
Marko Liias D
state senator, ex state rep, ex Mukilteo city councilman, 2016 state treasurer candidate
He is Finnish, speaks the language, and is openly gay.
He has worked his way up from Mukilteo city council to state legislature, state senate, and is now running for Lieutenant governor.
In his emails he expresses concern re COVID and how both federal and state governments are responding.
He calls himself a Bold Progressive.
He has stopped fundraising and instead asks people to support Black and Brown voices fighting for change, and includes a list.
“As white people of privilege it is essential we be useful in this struggle to ensure Black lives always matter.”
Today, the work we did on passing I-940 has placed Washington state at the forefront of rigorous standards for community-focused law enforcement. These standards include annual training for officers on implicit bias, de-escalation tactics, mental health, and alternatives to the use of lethal tactics.
While I’m proud of the role I played to help bring about these overdue changes, it has been abundantly clear over the last week there is still much more to do.
And this week, I returned a contribution we received from the State Troopers Association.
I want to be clear, I respect collective bargaining. But at this critical moment in our history, police unions too often stand in the way of progress and meaningful reforms.
Additionally, I am deeply concerned to learn about the political pressure being placed on members of Congress by the Fraternal Order of Police to water down or even withdraw the racial justice bills being introduced by House and Senate Democrats.
Among a wide range of reforms, these bills hold the police accountable for their actions, but the Fraternal Order of Police is opposed.
Only through real reform in law enforcement and addressing economic, housing, and education inequities can we achieve overdue change.

And, as for me, whether it’s gun safety laws, policing reform, or working to end discrimination in housing, education, the workplace, or wherever it may be found, I’m going to keep using my position of privilege to help make our state better.
He supports increasing opportunities and eligibility to vote.
He has been very productive in congress, passing 45 bills. His (unnamed) opponent has passed 3, one of which renamed a post office.
He is endorsed by retiring Lieutenant governor Cyrus Habib

Although the lieutenant governor’s race has 11 candidates, only Heck and state Sen. Marko Liias, a Lynnwood Democrat who is Senate Majority Floor Leader, are considered the heavyweights.

Habib has endorsed Liias, as have most of the Senate Democrats who control the chamber.

While I won’t cry if we end up with Denny Heck, I far prefer Marko Liias. I will be voting for
Marko Liias for lieutenant governor.
