Hope he tries again
One of the local brand-D candidates here in Spokane caught my attention. Daryl Romeyn, already well-known as a competent weathercaster, decided to run against Cathy McMorris.
Since Cathy's seat is absolutely safe, Romeyn is undoubtedly considered a mere pawn or placeholder, but he didn't follow the bland party line. His agenda is surprisingly strong and surprisingly Nationalist. He sounds like Marcy Kaptur.
I tossed some money at him, voted for him, and even put up a yard sign for the first time in my life.
He's practically guaranteed to lose, but I hope my little bit of support helps to give Romeyn the motivation to run again when the chances are better.
= = = = =
Just for my own memory: On all other offices I voted strictly for the non-incumbent. Where the incumbent was unopposed, I wrote in better candidates such as S. McDuck or Q.D. McGraw or B. Boop or P. deSaylor-Mann. (Sorta proud of the last one.) ¶ 1:05 PM
