BELLINGHAM
- Mayor: UNDERVOTE. Neither of these two clowns give a rat's patoot about individual liberty. collectivist vs. collectivist. Seems to be a focal point of the 3 or 4 sided civil war going on within our local Democrat friends and family.
- At Large: UNDERVOTE.Sure Louise is nice and her opponent has a meanspirited streak, both are collectivists. I predict that Louise will hold onto this seat until doomsday.
- Ward 1: UNDERVOTE, or write in Bob Ryan to retain his seat whether he wants the job or not.
- Ward 3: LARRY FARR. his opponent is a real nice guy, but a collectivist at heart. Larry has good solid solutions to many downtown problems.
- Ward 4: DAMON GRAY. His fresh and moderately fiscal conservative viewpoints and ability to solve problems is desperately missing from the current council.
- Ward 5: BILL GEYER. More planning experience from both sides of the counter than all current sitting and current hopefuls combined. This guy knows how to sign the front of a paycheck. His opponent is the most opposed to individual liberty of all current candidates and appears to be a goofball and highly unstable.
WHATCOM COUNTY
- Executive: PETE KREMEN, Okay, normally I pick on Pete, but he's been pretty gracious to the classy lady that the local cowards are hiding behind as a protest vote. I hope they feel SHAME. The forums have been painful to watch.
- Sherrif: BILL ELFO. Morale is high among the troops. He and his deputies are doing a terrific job. He is committed to our community from Diablo to Point Roberts to Eliza Island and everything in between. (however,stop asking for sales tax increases, please.)
- Treasurer: JOE ELENBAAS. There, I said it. I like Joe. I like Steve. Steve is a nice guy with a wonderful family. But can anyone point out a more determined individual liberty candidate than Joe "give 'em hell" Elenbaas? I just wish he'd run for county executive rather than Abacus Jockey. But the county treasurer's office needs a watchdog. Joe as Steve's supervisor. You'd have to increase Steve's wages to work with JOE, but what a combo for watchdoggin' the county budgets and expenditures.
- Assesor: KEITH WILLNAUER. Engaged with the public, makes time to talk with us.
- Auditor: SHIRLEY FORSLOF. She may never learn to speak loud enough for us deaf guys to hear in public, but she has good bipartisan support even though some folks still remember something about some schoolboard election.
- District 1 Pos. B: CHRIS HATCH. What more could a person concerned with individual liberty want than an effective Board of Equalization member voting for our individual rights on the council? This is a NO BRAINER.
- District 2 Pos. B: SAM CRAWFORD. This guy brought civility to the county council when it previously was operated like a punk rock romper room with no real leadership. His opponent who previously attacked Sam as "an Evil Genius" at a local Democrat Fundraiser (and on You tube) after getting sent packing with his outside bunch of collectivists from the second district homeowners, has now changed his dialogue and campaign strategy to "I am SAM, SAM I am." and Pretending to be a fiscal conservative pro-jobs candidate. SAM will continue to be the voice of reason whether one likes his views or not. I happen to like them most of the time.
- District 3 Pos. B: BARBARA BRENNER. I may agree with Barbara about 30% of the time, and sometimes think that it is a crapshoot how she'll vote. Even though she has been on the council back in the dysfunctional romper room days and can get excited, she is a classy lady that only occasionally makes one want to pull his hair out. Many claim to be the first eco-councilman, but for better or worse, Barbara was the first. Get over it, D.M. Unlike many politicians in this day and age, she has a reaganesque ability to have fun and even laugh at herself.
- The six Big cities? I'll leave that up to folks who live there for now as I admit I did not pay sufficient attention to these other important cities in our county.
