We are so fortunate out here to have King County Sheriff Dave Reichert running for Jennifer Dunn's 8th Congressional District seat in the House, as a pubbie. He's the guy who worked on the Green River Murderer case for so long, as a detective, and then was elected and serving as Sheriff when new forensics enabled them to catch Gary Ridgeway. He was named 2004's National Sheriff of the year. I tell you, Reichert suffered as each new body or group of bodies was discovered over a period of so many years. He was even a pallbearer at one of the funerals.
The opposition is trailing hard. Even the local and very liberal TV news is slanting the news (not unusual in itself) for Reichert (very unusual since he's GOP). What's so shocking is that they are putting out stories to aid a pubbie.
My big hope is that he'll get Dunn's house seat, stay there till Senator Maria "I really didn't want to go broke buying this Senate seat" Cantwell's term is up and then win her place in the Senate.
