DescriptionTime is flying by so fast, and I can hardly believe it's election time. Washington election officials will be mailing ballots this Friday, so I thought I'd start to look at the field of candidates. All kinds of offices are up for election, and I started at the top of the ticket--the U.S. senator for Washington state. I've concluded that my first-round vote is going to Schalk Leonard, a candidate for Patty Murray's senate seat who lists no political party association.

I need to be clear that my vote for Leonard is not out of protest. I support President Obama, and even though I'm disenchanted with the Democratic Party, I'm not bailing on him. I've looked at Leonard's information, and I like his values and policy proposals. I have the impression that if elected he can handle the job.
