closeSeattle Republican Leslie Klein, who unsuccessfully challenged Seattle Democratic Rep. Helen Sommers in 2000, is back on the scene, this time running against her seatmate. But Rep. Mary Lou Dickerson D-Seattle, does not appear to be in imminent danger of losing her seat.
Klein got just 16 percent of the vote against Sommers in 2000 in a three-way general election race. That year he dubbed his campaign “Elect Leslie Klein.”
Perhaps realizing that didn’t work out so well, Klein is back this year with a campaign named “Mr. Lemon Incept, LLC.”
I don’t get it either.
At any rate Klein is mini-reporting like he did in 2000, meaning he won’t raise and spend much money.
Dickerson in the meantime had raised a trifle more than $20,000 as of April 30.
She emerged from a six-way primary in 1994, got 69 percent in the general election and has gotten no less than 75 percent approval in six re-election campaigns since.
