Comments on Rep. Joe McDermott's Open Seat

Good luck, Ivan!

And you forgot that Sharon Maeda (sp?) was openly campaigning for it last week at a funeral and there's some government functionary from the City's Department of Finance that might be interested. Research, damnit!

Tania Maria would be great for this. She has been active on everything from immigration, and labor to local city issues.

I'd throw in for Ivan.

WA Constitution, Section 15

... the person appointed to fill the vacancy must be from the same legislative district, county, or county commissioner or council district and the same political party as the legislator or partisan county elective officer whose office has been vacated ...

I don't see anything in there about Dow Constantine. :)

@5: Yeah, I was wondering about that one myself. Point goes to RonK.

Oh, hell no!

Ivan may make a great District Democrats Chair, and he can stir up support for candidates and political causes... but he pisses everyone off at one time or another.

He's extremely arrogant (not necessarily a bad thing), quick to judgment, and stubborn as an old mule.

These make for a great activist, but I'm not sure they'd be good down in Olympia. On the other hand, maybe by appointment is the only way to get someone like him into office.

Yeah Josh is wrong about Dow Constantine. Because Poulsen is a Democrat, the 34th District Democrats get to nominate possible replacements, and because McDermott is a Democrat, they will also get to nominate his replacement (assuming he moves up, which is up to nobody but the 34th District PCOs and the King County Council).
