Have been reading through all the information on the various candidates. Twenty-eight individuals are running for the Senate seat. One thing I know is that I want Cantwell out. She has been there for 17 years and does not represent us. One I like is in his early 20s, very reasonable, level headed and smarter than many decades older. But in reality he needs to get more life experience before he is electable.
Here is an interesting guy: GoodSpaceGuy (Prefers Republican Party)
Elected Experience: I, freemarket Goodspaceguy, was electorally defeated 18 times. (The poverty of the big spenders’ Command Economy continues!)
Other Professional Experience: With my bachelor’s degree and master’s degree, I, small spending Goodspaceguy, invested and became prosperous.
Education: I, Goodspaceguy, Minnesota born, was university educated in Germany, Sweden, and America. My education included business and economics. (Free market economics guided by profit tells us how to raise the workers’ living standard. Work builds prosperity.)
Community Service: I, freemarket Goodspaceguy, advocate against poverty caused by the Command Economy. Let’s replace the job destroying minimum wage with individual free market wages. Make jobs easy to get.
Statement: Please think of our world as a beautiful spaceship. We are the passengers and crew members on Spaceship Earth. We are traveling in space around our Sun while our Sun travels inside our Milky Way Galaxy. But we are wasting too much money and allowing too much destruction on our planet. Through prosperity, let’s stop the population explosion that is exterminating the wilderness.
Using voluntary, competitive, free market economics, let’s raise the living standard of the workers. Let’s reject the voter supported Big Government Command Economy that through force and misallocation produces wild spending and poverty.
I, Goodspaceguy, predict the prosperous future in space will come through orbital space colonization around our Spaceship Earth. Let’s start with small habitats, perhaps privately owned by billionaires. Let’s join small habitats together into orbiting, international villages as the cheapest places to learn how to live in space.
But on our Spaceship Earth, we have a mixed up economy. We have unemployed people, homeless people, criminals, and poverty maintained by welfare (a heavy burden for the workers.) Free market economics can rehabilitate Spaceship Earth by transforming problem people into productive people within the labor force.
Worldwide we are struggling between Command Economies and Free Market Economies. Profits grow jobs, but the minimum wage laws reduces profits, which decreases jobs.
The workers create the goods and services that make up the living standard. Then tricky taxation takes from the workers and gives to the welfare recipients. The workers are robbed. The incentive to work is decreased. The minimum wage of the Command Economy creates a stressful work atmosphere and decreases profits. Jobs are lost. Crime and poverty increase. Let’s defend the incentive of profits that come from serving you, the consumer. Study Free Market Economics! Abolish the job destroying minimum wage! Choose prosperity path.

Maybe a wildlife management person could help manage what happens in DC
Sam Wright (Prefers The Human Rights Party)
Elected Experience: None
Other Professional Experience: Fisheries Research Scientist with five decades of experience managing fish populations and fish habitats.
Education: B.S. degree in Wildlife Management from Humboldt State University.
Community Service: Served two years in the U.S. Army Infantry. Founded The Human Rights Party in 2012 to give candidates and individual voters a new alternative that may be more in line with their personal beliefs and convictions.
Statement: To ensure life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, both health care and education must be recognized as basic human rights for all Americans. The only cost effective way to provide universal health care is by providing a single national insurance program, including removal of the responsibility from both employers and employees (private and public sectors, including education). Exclusion of private insurance and advertising companies (and the IRS) from health care would save the American people trillions of dollars in unnecessary costs during the 21st century. Severing the current mandatory linkage between health care insurance and employment would create a major new and sustainable stimulus for job creation and growth of the American economy. For education, we need to recognize the essential role of post secondary training as part of our definition of basic education. Tuition fees in state college systems must be drastically reduced or eliminated. The only tax policy change needed would be to begin taxing capital gains at the same percentage rates as earned or ordinary income. (WA does not tax income so is he saying 0% tax?)

James Robert "Jimmie" Deal (Prefers Green Party)
Elected Experience: I have previously run for Lynnwood City Council, Snohomish County Executive, Lieutenant Governor, and Governor.
Other Professional Experience: Real estate attorney and broker. Smart meter, fluoridation, and environmental class action attorney. Author, musician, and composer.
Education: B.A. and M.Ed. in Psychology from WWU. J.D. from the University of Washington.
Community Service: President of Coalition against Smart Meters and 5G, Fluoride Class Action, and Comprehensive Transportation. Traffic and transit scholar. Opponent of smart meters, which are not grounded, are not sufficiently surge protected, catch fire, sicken many, are not covered by many insurance policies, and constantly emit harmful radiation.
Statement: My chosen pro bono work as an attorney is to study the many wasteful public frauds and expose them. Elected leaders often support or keep silent regarding these, maybe because the fraudsters finance their campaigns.
The favorite in this race has done much good. But she is wrong or silent on many issues. In writing she supports smart meters, which are flatly illegal, which collect data for resale on our every electrical activity. Our goal should be fiber to each home, business, school, and Starbucks, and ethernet plugins everywhere for computers and even cell phones. Wi-Fi in schools should be turned off. The new 5G will fry us all.
I propose a solution to traffic congestion that will allow us to get around without a car, a van service summoned Uber style, delivering door to door service, taking half the cars off the road, the only solution that will work and by far the cheapest.
Social Security should be diversified into many different, safe investments and run as a sovereign wealth and pension fund.
Most recreational drugs should be legalized and sold in state stores, bearing warning labels, with profits used for free, immediate addiction treatment, raising billions in taxes, diminishing organized crime, improving policing, reducing imprisonment, lessening border problems.
Other issues: Stop drilling now. Require Exxon to spend all new capital on solar, wind, and wave. Lower the voting age to 17. We need students’ input. Roundup causes cancer, kills salmon, and should be banned. Let’s become an organic nation. Fluoridation is another profitable fraud, adding three trillion atoms of lead to each quart of Seattle tap water. We should sell bonds and construct enough reduced rent housing to house all. I offer a proposal for election and campaign finance reform. Radio program Sundays at 8 PM. Contact: (425) 774-6611 james@jamesdeal.com www.JamesRobertDeal.org/Radio

I certainly don't envy your need to decide. Many people would just decide to not decide, and would choose to not vote at all.
Here in WY we have similar choices to make. We have 6 or 8 (I've lost count) people running for governor, and most of them are all saying the same things to attract voters. How do you select any one of them when they all offer the same thing? We have one candidate for Senate who actually has a plan, and has published it in a booklet explaining what and how he wants to accomplish. So far I think he has my vote!
Local elections are similarly confusing because of unclear promises and unknown qualifications. We're supposed to cast educated votes, yet politics by its very nature is distasteful and boring, at least to me. I try every election to learn about candidates, but soon find myself just skimming their ads and not really learning much at all. National and state elections are more important to me than local, yet locally is where I recognize names and actually do know a little bit about some of them.
In reality, I tend to vote a straight ticket most of the time, but not always. I do try to weigh a few factors into my decisions, but with the far left (socialist and democrat) being so unrealistic about the world, I find few of those candidates to whom I'd give even a passing thought. I'll stop my opining at this point and see if anyone else has anything to say.

The local positions were much easier to select. Only the coroner position has anyone contesting the incumbent. Of the 28 running for the Senate seat I have narrowed it down to 7. Unfortunately they are all from the west side. The measure to build a new fire station is reasonable. With the increased population that has spread out into the county we need the fire protection even if it means an increase in taxes.
The first one I eliminated was GoodSpaceGuy. He hasn't impressed me in the past and his ideas of creating space colonies does not sound like a serious proposal. Likewise the guy that wants to eliminate 50% of all personal vehicles. Two individuals' only position was to get rid of the incumbent. Nothing about what they might do.
Will go back and do more research on the remaining 7.

It is the same here. I believe there are 8 running for Govenor. It is very hard to decide. Then there are all the other ones. Stabenow is up this year and would like to see her out. Then there are the countless parade of candidates out for representatives. We have actually had 2 of them on our doorstep. One is very local and the other is a farmer and stopped by yesterday. It is actually good to see them out door to door as most years I don't remember them doing that. I am wondering if the mood in the country has changed and that is why they are really getting out there campaigning. We will see how this turns out. Maybe the changes we have seen in Washington are now coming home and people are wanting to get involved again. I think 2 weeks from today should sort it out a bit.

After a lot of research I have made my selections. No I did not vote for GoodSpaceGuy.
I was not aware that a candidate could run in multiple states. Roque "Rocky" DeLa Fuente is "seeking election to the U.S. Senate from Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Minnesota, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington, and Wyoming. The United States Constitution does not establish specific residency requirements for United States senators, stipulating only that a senator must be an "inhabitant of the state for which he shall be chosen." Residency requirements vary by state." How can he represent the people of any one state?
Now to do it again in November.

I wasn't aware of that either. I thought you had to be a resident prior to filing for the election.
To me this is the same as the car dealer selling Fords, Chevies, Dodges Toyotas, Nissans, Hondas and a myriad of other brands.. For Heaven's sake, make up your mind! There is apparently no loyalty to any one brand...or state.
Are they just in this for the money? I think the answer is evident...

Well the voters have spoken and the Senate seat has been narrowed down from 28 to the top two. This time the top two going to the general election will be one Republican and one Democrat. The liberal west side will probably want to keep the incumbent in office. Goodspaceguy managed to get 47024 votes or 0.43% out of the 1,087,947 ballots. There were several that have fewer votes.
WA is a vote by mail only state so they are still counting. There is an estimated 259,694 ballots left to count as of 3 pm Wednesday. The current top two are so far ahead of any of the others it is not likely to change.

2020 Primary Election
Got my primary ballot today. There are 37 individuals running for governor. Going to have to do a lot of research. Already know I won't be voting for the current governor or Goodspaceguy.
On the local talk show on the radio someone asked "what would happen if Governor Inslee wasn't one of the top two"? The answer - The sun would shine for 365 days on both sides of the state.
Our primary selects the top two for each position. No consideration of party or lack of party.

Have you been doing a ton of studying, or will you just toss a coin or roll some dice?

I read through all the candidates statements. Many were not serious, their main statement was just get rid of Inslee. Goodspaceguy did have a few good points but is still pushing for a colony on Mars. He got 3,833 votes. One that I thought was a good choice was a doctor from Yakima. But no political experience, has only lived in WA 13 years, was born in Cuba and he would have a hard time getting enough votes from the west side. He probably has more experience than anyone in the state working with COVID. He is currently in 4th with 5% of the votes.
The primary was yesterday. With so many candidates the votes were diluted. They are still counting votes. Inslee has 51% and Culp 17%. The next highest only has 8%. Culp was one of my top two. A very strong second amendment individual. He is the Chief of Police in a small place near the Canadian boarder.
Maybe, since I am not working, I should see about volunteering for the Culp team.
