The sole position to be filled at the county level is for Prosecuting Attorney. Gee, there would be more talk about if only we moved other county elections to even-numbered years (yeah, that's sarcasm).
The good news it that we're looking at two solid candidates with good experience and different approaches to crime. Jim Ferrell is a former prosecutor and Mayor of Federal Way who favors more law-and-order and incarceration for repeat offenders, and has endorsements from most police unions. Leesa Manion has spent the past 15 years as Chief of Staff for Dan Satterberg, the current King County Prosecutor, favors diversion and mitigation as opposed to incarceration, and has a pack of Democratic party endorsements. Both are serious on crime, just take very different approaches. I'm going to recommend Leesa Manion for the position. But again, we're looking at two impressive resumes here.
And.... that's it for the county level. Since I have the space, here are some anagrams for "Political Desk":
- Politick Sal
- Pickle Altoids
- Politic Daleks
- Licked Topsail
- Ellipsoid Tack
- Dali Stockpile
- Despotic Kali
- Callisto Piked
- Aldi Elk Optics
OK, I'm done. More later,
