Seattle Times “Republican” Gubernatorial Candidate

The Sunday Seattle Times article “GOP Pack Aims at Inslee” typifies the paper's and some "Republican's" arrogance when it comes to who they think the party should support.  It says a lot they would choose to describe Raul Garcia, who is “pro-choice”, hasn’t bothered to vote since 2012, and is “undecided” as to whether “he will vote for Trump” as “someone Republican leaders back for governor”.

The reality is Inslee is going to be re-elected.  The only question remains is who best can use the candidacy as a platform to benefit Washington residents.  The Times refuses to even acknowledge my candidacy despite the fact I finished 3^rd in 2016 having never asked for nor accepted any financial support for my campaign.  They (and some "Republicans") obviously don't want a candidate who will point out the paper's incompetent response to the area's problems, with the paper instead becoming an active wing of DNC.   

My general election platform would expose the  failure of Sound Transit and the WSDOT to deal with the area’s congestion.  That Sound Transit CEO Rogoff may be able to construct light rail extensions but he's totally incompetent when it comes to increasing the transit ridership needed to reduce congestion.  His 2019 budget plans to spend $96 billion on a light rail spine that will increase congestion and create a perpetual financial "black hole" to cover operating cost.   

Puget Sound residents need to be told how they would benefit if Sound Transit were required to divert light rail spine funds to increase bus transit capacity and light rail lines to West Seattle and Ballard. East side residents would benefit if WSDOT limited HOT to one I-405 lane with fees raised to assure 45 mph and an additional lane for GP.

The entire state needs an election platform debunking the claim “CO2 emissions are an existential threat”. Global temperatures are driven by the Sun.  Taxes on carbon or windmills and solar panels will do absolutely nothing to stop it.    

The bottom line is, unless other candidates support these issues, East Link operation in 2023 will vindicate my Sound Transit concerns; I-405 congestion will continue to increase on both GP and HOT lanes; and renewable energy and carbon taxes will continue to increase resident’s costs.  

Sooner or later all of my concerns will be validated.  My campaign is an attempt to make it sooner.
