Politics KC Elections Director: The Final Six

Posted by Erica C. Barnett on Mon, Dec 15, 2008 at 1:44 PM

As of the filing deadline last Friday evening, six candidates had filed to run for King County Elections Director, a position that voters decided to change from appointed to elected in November. They include a Renton schoolteacher obsessed with recalling Port Commissioner Pat Davis ; a former King County Council member who allegedly ">beat his own mother; a disgraced former elections director who was accused of assaulting a police officer with her car; a volatile state senator who allegedly pulled a gun on a staffer; the current elections director, whose recent move to King County is being challenged by Clifford; and a Seafirst manager I described last week as "some guy named Bill Anderson," who you can read all about here. Among those who filed campaign papers with the state Public Disclosure Commission earlier this month, three—former King County Council chief of Staff Ross Baker, port commissioner Lloyd Hara, and recent UW graduate Ted Maroutso—did not officially file for the office.

In which southwest art gallery will you find the burl in williams beard barried?

My guess is that it is an wrist wrestling lyrical photo in the way of a stage performance which is of course, paramount to a misslehead.

Condolances to Sam Zell for making a bad decision in Idaho.

I want Daniel Bennett Kieneker to be the KC Elections Director. From his padded cell.

Who is number six? Sherril Huff?

Well, if Lloyd Hara dropped out, I'm in favor of Sherril then.

Write in Hugh Foskett! What's he been up to lately?

Probably writing for the UW Daily, is my guess.

Bill Anderson's website says he is not accepting any campaign contributions. Don't expect to see much from Bill.

I heard Erica allegedly is a true "horsewoman," a woman who truly loves horses, if you know what I mean. I heard Erica's nickname in certain circles allegedly is "Enumclaw Erica."

By the way, Eli Sanders allegedly is known in certain circles as "Enumclaw Eli."

I hate it when Pam Roach supporters post.
