My exploratory candidacy for Lieutenant Governor of Washington has taken another step towards making it an actual candidacy by accumulating the funds necessary to officially file with the Secretary of State's office and to have a campaign apparatus. If I actually run, my opponents would be "Global Citizen" Cyrus Habib, "Blue Dog" Dem., Steve Hobbs, the "we're-gonna-tax-somebody" rascal, James Moeller, Establishment dinosaur, Karen Fraser, and some no-name Republicans who probably make Jeb Bush look charismatic, believe it or not.
If this goes beyond the exploratory phase, this would be a Citizens Party (Revived Citizens Party) candidacy that will take advantage of the crowded major party field (this is a gold mine for a 3rd party actually having a chance to make the "Top 2"), and remind voters that the only way that we're going to have significant 3rd party competition in America is by actually voting for 3rd parties.
I would like to write about issues right now, but I'll have to keep this short because of a current busy schedule. I'll have plenty of time to write about issues in the coming months before the primary, if I become a candidate, including through a candidacy website. Watch for the filing of this exploratory candidacy with the Public Disclosure Commission this week.
