Bob Ferguson: Secured the largest campaign finance penalty in history

Dave Reichert: Make state government open, responsive, and inclusive

Government is there to serve, and listen to, the people. Yet our state government today only seems interested in serving themselves and listening to no one but themselves. I'm running to make state government what it should be -- open, responsive, and inclusive -- where the power is wielded by you, the citizens.
