The Wider Community

Newcastle's 17% that voted for me will play an important role in 2014.

 

A good portion of the vote is in and it looks like Newcastle decided to stay with the status quo (Drescher will fit like a glove with the present Council).  The only exception to staying with the status quo is that there will be less hurdles to clear for those who want to merge with Bellevue, and believe me there are people in high places in Newcastle and Bellevue trying to accomplish that goal (their goal, not "Commons'").  N.P.R. will now start covering the wider community more, the 9th Congressional District of which Newcastle is in, and taking a very close look at Rep. Adam Smith's poor record.  Much of this work is already on Eye on Congress. 

 

To the 17% that voted for me, thank you very much and I'm pretty sure I'll need your support again in the summer of '14.
