Olympia--Former Gov. Gary Locke, the nation's first Chinese-American governor, has signed on as state co-chairman of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton's bid for president.
Locke will join King County Executive Ron Sims and U.S. Rep Jay Inslee as state co-chairmen for Clinton. Inslee is national co-chairman of Clinton's energy and environment advisers and Sims, the state's top-ranking black officeholder, is a member of the panel.
"Gary was a visionary governor and he will be a tremendous asset to our campaign as we take our message of change across Washington," Clinton said in a prepared statement. "I'm honored to have his support."
“While former Governor Locke played his “first Chinese-American governor” for all it was worth and Sims is doing his thing with his “state’s top-ranking black officeholder.” Who said the race card won’t be played by the demoncRATS?”
I wonder if I ever won a governership if I’d be considered the first “Irish/German/English/Polish - American” governor?

Sims, Inslee, and GridLocke. We’re getting the band back together, Dude!
“first Chinese-American governor”
He’s a Hsu in for fund raising manager.
Also, King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties defeated Republican Sen. Slade Gorton and catapulted Democrat Sen. Maria Cant”budget”well into office. Gorton (RINO) won in all counties except those 3. Isn’t it interesting that those 3 counties carry the politics in the state? Also, interesting is that we have Moron Murray, Cant”budget”well and Fraudoire (all women and democrats) running the state.
Why do Dem women think that voting for a woman is always the right course? I find it insulting that the Dems and the MSM assume that most women will vote for a woman over a man simply because she’s a woman! Pubbie women are smarter than that. We vote ideology not gender or race.
You spoke the way I feel. Let’s hope and have faith that you are correct.
Here we again. Hillary didn't waste any time. Hsu gone, but already associating with more Chinese/ Chinese Americans.
