Who would the Republicans run? I can't really think of anyone, other than maybe Jan Angel.

Dino Rossi?

I think he was joking. At least I hope he was --- hard to tell with that guy.

Yes I was. Although he would probably do better as a carpetbagger than Cloud would.

The Republican could be some wealthy Tacoma resident. Or perhaps Mike Lonergan wants to switch over from the Pierce County Assessor-Treasurer race (if he lives in the district).

Democrats

Pierce County Prosecutor Mark Lindquist: Posted on Facebook he's out.

Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland: “something I will take into consideration.”

State Senator Tim Sheldon: “I’ll leave the door open,”

State Senator Jim Hargrove: No quote in the article, but indicates he's thinking about it.

State Auditor Brian Sonntag: “certainly worth looking at.” (Sonntag lives in the 10th though)

Republicans

State Representative Jan Angel: "hasn’t yet had time to think about running."

Pierce County Councilmen Dick Muri and Stan Flemming: Sticking with the 10th CD race.

Previously announced candidates Jesse Young, Doug Cloud and Bob Sauerwein: Still running.

If he runs and loses we'd finally be done with him. If he wins though... *shudder*

Well if he wins that CD I don't see anything from stopping him to become Senator or Governor Tim Sheldon.

State Senator Christine Rolfes (D) has taken her name out of consideration.

Is Kastama's vote some moderate hero ploy to get elected Secretary of State? It just seems so blatantly ostentatious.

I've been wondering the same.  It seems like an awful idea to me, since there's a qualified Republican (Wyman) who will get Republican votes.  Maybe he wants to distinguish himself clearly from the other two Democrats?  Not the strategy I would pick...

It is quite odd. I don't really know what any of the three Democrats were thinking but him especially.

Some terrible SEIU poll:

Inslee 38%
McKenna 38%

Inslee is resigning early to focus on his Gubernatorial campaign.

There won't be an early special; he was waiting until the latest day possible passed.

Jan Angel, the one Republican state legislator in the 6th, won't run. I hear Kitsap County Commissioner Josh Brown, a Democrat, may get in.

Judge Thomas McPhee has released the final ballot language for Referendum 74.  It cannot be appealed, and is much better for gay marriage supporters (and seems like less of a stretch in general to me):

Both Kitsap County Commissioner Josh Brown and Tacoma Mayor Marilyn Strickland took themselves out of contention for WA-06 today. I suppose Sheldon could still get in but Kilmer pretty much has the Democratic nomination locked up; no one else who would be serious is left.

I heard a rumor of a Tacoma Republican self-funder. We'll know soon enough I suppose.

Sounds like we may have an open seat in the 28th LD...
