Every time I think the electorate won't fall for another obvious hit job, I get disappointed.
My big race this year locally? Commissioner of Public Lands. The incumbent, Doug Sutherland, was caught sexually harrassing a woman in his department -- they ended up requiring sexual harrassment training for the whole department, and she left her job. His opponent, Peter Goldmark, is a rancher and molecular biologist who is really progressive. Plus, the Stranger endorsed him.
I'm telling everyone I know, vote for Peter Goldmark. It's not the sexiest of races, but I really want him to win.
I feel your pain.
