    I’m voting for Dave because this state needs massive change. I gotta say though… if we are sticking with a democrat… Mark Mullet all the way. I think he had the best answer on the homeless issue. Ferguson by FAR had the worst.

      That's how dangerous Ferguson is.

    Too bad we don’t have real journalist. This state has been a disaster on crime taxes for decades under Democrat leadership unfortunately we have ignorant voters in the state of Washington that need to be educated by journalist, asking the right questions. We have the worst transportation system, worst ferry system highest homelessness all caused by the Democrats reckless policies. How does abortion rights in LGBTQ rights help affordability help the gridlock in our transportation, restore our fairy system lower taxes in the cost-of-living for families. Quit focusing on social issues and make the state of Washington what it should be affordable, safe place to live.

Their later relationship confirms this, with Semi being appointed executor of his Dad's estate! That valuable lesson learned tells me I may just vote for this man!
