UI bet “Grandstanding” Bob Ferguson created this anti-speech law. We need to vote him down in his bid for Governor. We have Dave Reichert and Semi Bird running against him. The primary will determine who will be the one. I saw both speak, yesterday, at the King County GOP Convention. Reichert has great name recognition as a Former King County Sheriff and U.S. Representative. He spoke about the fentanyl menace, drug caused homelessness and mobs who block traffic on I-5.
Bird has little name recognition as the Benton County GOP Chairman and a member of the Richland School Board. However, his ability to give speeches is phenomenal. When he told our 410 King County delegates to help send him to Olympia so he can give the Democrats the Bird, it tore the roof off with cheers.
I actually spoke to Bird at the WA State Fair lest fall. He seems like a smart cookie, and put forth some really well-thought ideas.
As it is, I’m not sure I trust Reichert. He seems more of an Establishment guy. I do know the GOP in Olympia are behind him, and that’s a big Red Flag to me.
Another reason I like Bird is that my uber-lib sister utterly hates him. She jokingly (I hope) told me she’d shoot me if I voted for him.
So, I guess you could say I’m a Bird-man.
