I’ve known and worked with Norma Smith for years. We have
very different political philosophies, but are able to come together around
issues important to both of us. I’ve done a fair amount of research about
Michael Scott, and find no substantive statement from him on anything, except
for the one above, which is on his website, the Libertarian Party website, and
the voter’s pamphlet. I believe that Libertarians live in Oz, where the basic
laws of physics evidently do not apply.
Both these candidates ran in the primary, so check my
comments back then.
I’ll be voting for Norma Smith.

I have watched Dave Hayes in action these past 4 years and
am very much not impressed. The man is a cop and thinks like one. When we
have presented him with straightforward environmental issues he has refused
to act. Washington Conservation Voters reports that he voted against every
environmental bill presented in the last year. Same goes for other broad
areas.
And then there’s Nick Petrish, a blast of fresh air right
when and where we need it. He’s got no money so has done very little
campaigning, which is too bad. I listened to him speak at a candidate night
event and loved it. He’s a union man. He owns guns and supports I-594. He has
a clear understanding of the climate problem and the fact that there are jobs
to be had correcting it. He was right there on every point on my checklist.
And he’s got a great sense of humor, along with an ability to speak
convincingly to people on the polar opposite side.
Both these candidates ran in the primary. Check out my
comments back then.
I will be voting very happily for Nick
Petrish.
