Tom Riggs (far left) announces his Candidacy for 10th LD State Representative at the Stanwood Democrats monthly meeting Feb. 11th
|
At their monthly meeting Saturday morning the Stanwood Democrats welcomed the announcement of Tom Rigg’s Candidacy for the 10th Legislative District.
Having served 18 years as a Park Ranger in the State of Washington, Tom Riggs brings a unique perspective about WA State’s social and physical landscape. Like most of us he emphasizes bringing more employment to Washington State. He suggests that our State government could in source more State contracts within its borders. More about his specific proposals can be found in the Heraldnet.
Candidate Riggs is not certain if he will be running against Rep. Barbara Bailey or if Rep. Bailey will run for the State Senate against Senator Mary Margaret Haugen. I commented that the two legislators take opposing views on the recently passed legislation providing marriage equality for Gays and Lesbians. Rep. Bailey voted against the legislation and is encouraging a referendum to repeal it. Candidate Riggs sides with Senator Haugen in supporting the legislation. I emailed Rep Bailey saying I was disappointed in her vote against marriage equality.

Thanks for keeping the blog going and covering these stories. Tom is a good man. I am supporting him and hope many others will look into his qualifications and what he wants to do for our state. Tom is always happy to discuss these with you.
