closeThe online version of the state voters’ pamphlet was posted on the Secretary of State’s website today and you can find it here. But I got a sneak peak at the printed version and thought I’d direct you to a few highlights ahead of time.
First, you might check out Will Baker’s candidate statement. He’s the Reform Party’s candidate for governor. He floats a couple of conspiracies and then asks readers “to please call ‘60 Minutes’ at (212) 975-2006 and please press zero to speak to a live person.” Sounds like he’s done this before.
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Christian Pierre Joubert favors “the distribution of ‘superfoods’ (including but not limited to amazing dopamine-producing raw vegan chocolate mousses).” That sounds like a kitchen table issue. Do House Democrats know about this?
Republican Jim Wiest is running for Lieutenant Governor again and declares himself to be Dino Rossi’s running mate when he says “With Dino Rossi and myself back on the ballot again, we have a chance to correct the mistakes make since that November Election day four years ago.”
David Blomstrom wants to be your next state Superintendent of Public Instruction and in his candidate statement he declares “Viva Chavez! No, I haven’t lost my mind — just my profession (teaching) and students.” He later asks “So why do the media ignore and even lie about me?”
Don’t look at me. He’s getting ink here, isn’t he?
And because I got a copy of the Clark County version of the voters’ pamphlet it had Republican Rep. Jim Dunn’s candidate statement included. Near the end Dunn declared “Return control of Washington to our residents,” which in this context sounds a lot like “Vote for change by re-electing your state representative.”
