Dayton attorney Terry Nealey has announced he’ll challenge longtime state Rep. Bill Grant, D-Walla Walla, this fall.
Nealey apparently becomes the third Republican in the race. Pasco’s Shane Thorson jumped into the fray in January. And the Walla Walla Union-Bulletin has reported Walla Walla University student Jacob Brassington also is running.
On this page Brassington wonders aloud “can fat people go skinny dipping?” Obviously, he’s angling for a seat on the House Health Care and Wellness Committee, or perhaps the Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness Committee.
As for Nealey, he’s a former Columbia County prosecutor and a former basketball coach at Dayton High School.
"I am a fiscal conservative and will strive to control spending and taxation," Nealey said in a press release.
