January 2012 Newsletter

Posted on January 6, 2012 by

We will now be posting our newsletters on this site. The January Newsletter has one correction from the edition that went out via email. With most sincere apologies to Auditor Candidate Craig Pridemore, I have corrected the first mention of him as Craig Sizemore. Got it right in the link, though. Sorry, Craig, we do NOT want to link you to that scoundrel from Oregon, and beg forgiveness.

A Look at Our New LD

Posted on January 3, 2012 by

With the redistricting, we are now part of LD14. Apparently there was much gnashing of teeth over the drawing of these two districts, pushing negotiations to within 2 hours of the deadline.

We were previously in the 15th, which has been redrawn into the first majority minority LD in the state, and is now 55 percent Latino. The 14th was formerly a small district centered on the City of Yakima and including the Upper Valley, but now it includes all of Klickitat and Skamania, much of Yakima County, and a small rectange of eastern Clark County.  Read more...

Klickitat, We Have a New CD

Posted on January 2, 2012 by

The redistricting committee approved the compromise maps last night. The downloading of the handout files is slow/not working right now, so I downloaded Google Earth and viewed the files for the LD and CD layers. As expected, we are now going to be in CD 3, currently represented by Jaime Herrera Beutler. With CD3 losing the more blue areas near Olympia and gaining more red areas of E. Skamania and Klickitat, thinking is that it will make CD3 less of a ‘swing’ district. But the Columbian cautions: “Certainly, the 20,000-plus residents of Klickitat County are more conservative than constituents Herrera Beutler would lose in Olympia, but their political leanings should not be taken for granted.”  Read more...
