How I'm Voting - Lt. Governor

Lieutenant Governor is a bit more of a challenge.  Normally, I prefer people with Republican leanings, but the picking's here are pretty slim.  For example:

If you elect me Lt. Governor of Washington, I will support open and transparent government conducting the official duties fairly and honestly.

I will use public service to promote what is best in Washington.

I have lived in Asia and worked in international trade. Trade and tourism offer great benefits to the people of Washington. Whether they grow apples or wheat, bottle wine, build airplanes or write code, people in these businesses are the backbone of Washington. I will work to keep them strong.

You may have noticed that when any problem surfaces, Olympia mandates expensive programs.

My community experience has shown me that we have the opportunity to incorporate the power of volunteerism into our state. Using technology and thousands of willing volunteer organizations, we can create a statewide database that matches willing volunteers and those who need our help – the aged, the homeless, at-risk youth, every good cause.

And that is from a Republican leaning candidate.  The other's don't speak about the problems that we have, OR how they plan on solving them, except the Democratic leaning one.

All others either speak of religion (a big red flag in my opinion), or only speak of one or two issues.

Unfortunately, I need someone who's willing to talk about our problems and how to solve them.  I'm voting for Brad Owen.

Ewww..I feel so dirty. :)
