Stranger Election Control Board SECB: Vote for Eileen L. Cody and Joe Fitzgibbon

Posted by Stranger Election Control Board on Wed, Oct 20, 2010 at 11:45 AM

Yeah, yeah, Eileen Cody. We want her to beat Ray "Reluctantly Republican" Carter in the race for state representative. Now, please, enough about Cody. Shut up. We want to direct every last bit of our attention to Joe Fitzgibbon, whose plump lips have never uttered a word that didn't make us go, "Squeeee!" Fitzgibbon's opponent is Mike Heavey, whose only qualification is having been shot out of a state senator's balls some nine months before he was born. So Heavey's daddy was a state senator. Big fucking deal. Fitzgibbon—squeeee!—has, at the tender age of 24, racked up more real-world political experience than Heavey could ever hope to have absorbed by osmosis at family gatherings. Fitzgibbon worked in Olympia as legislative aide to Sharon Nelson (D-34), who is endorsing him, and has served on the Burien Planning Commission. He is a defender of bikers (he wants the legislature to reconsider a bill that would up the punishment for drivers who hit them), a fan of staggered bar-closing times, and an opponent of efforts to put Seattle on the hook for downtown tunnel cost overruns. HOT. Vote Fitzgibbon.

Check out all of our endorsements and jump into the discussion over here.

I filled out my ballot based on what would provide the most entertaining news coverage. In other words, I voted for or against anything in a fashion leading the gravest consequences for us all.

@1, I'm leaning toward that same democracy-dooming but consistent philosophy. It began when I was happy to have no alternative to voting McGinn since Slog yelling about him is so much fun, and I'll vote for Fitzgibbon to see how the media crush plays out on "candidate most likely to have hairless nalgas".

Argh. Of course I can't vote for Fitzgibbon - his district is way over yonder.

I wrote in Mike McGinn for any judicial or attorney position that I didn't like the "only choice" incumbent in, since he's a lawyer and a great Mayor.

I'm a Joe supporter... but you could at least be fair to Mike. He worked as a County Council aide, and helped lead Dow Constantine's campaign for County Executive. He may be less experiences, but he's not exactly sitting around in his childhood bedroom taking advice from his Dad.
