closeIt looks like Puyallup Republican Bruce Dammeier won’t be running unopposed for the open House seat being vacated by Rep. Joyce McDonald after all.
Puyallup’s Larry Pratt has jumped into the race as a member of the Progressive Party. He’s chosen to mini report, meaning he won’t raise or spend more than $5,000.
Pratt was the driving force behind the party’s Washington revival in 2003, though it’s likely most folks didn’t notice. According to the party website, the Progressives put up a candidate for mayor of Seattle in 2005 but otherwise have been left to endorse other parties’ candidates.
Pratt is listed as one of five founding members of the Progressive Party of Washington, though you, too, can gain the title so long as you contribute at least $100 by 2013.
