Remember back to October 2013, when I alleged that millions of public dollars were being funneled into incumbents' campaigns for port commissioner? Since then, all four candidates involved won by a landslide.

On September 25, 2014, the Public Disclosure Commission will be holding a hearing to look into the alleged violations by Tom Albro, John Creighton, Courtney Gregoire, and Stephanie Bowman.

I took part in my first PCO Revolution phone bank event yesterday, and wow, these guys are great. (Full disclosure: I run a little tech consulting operation that provides database and mailing support services for many Republican liberty style campaigns, including PCO Revolution.) They are all passionate volunteers working to restore the power to the grassroots by informing regular citizen voters of their duty to run for Precinct Committee Officer.

It seems a somewhat credible news source finally agrees with me on the Seattle Police Department Port Security Grant Network. The Stranger front page story this week is investigating the wireless mesh network! I had no connection with The Stranger story, but I am an obscure blogger investigating the wireless mesh.

The primary has come and gone now. Thanks to all your dedication and support I received just over 42,000 votes, more than any other liberty candidate on the ballot in this election. Unfortunately, the results were not as good as expected. I came in just 3% short of second place, the cutoff to appear on the general election ballot. Hopefully with your future support, we will move Liberty on to the general election and to victory.

Now that the general election is upon us, I'd like to urge you to vote for the one candidate I think can still bring much needed change to the Port of Seattle. I have meet Mayor Pete Lewis several times over my campaign and I feel he is the only remaining candidate who isn't running provide kickbacks to his employer or to advance his career. Pete knows what we need to change at the port to bring jobs to the Puget Sound region, and he has the political experience to know how to do it. Please join me in voting for Mayor Lewis. Let's bring his experience of running a cost effective, responsive city to the Port of Seattle.

Yesterday a story broke on yet another downgrade in the port's bond rating, this time from stable to negative by Moody’s Investors Service. Investors are losing confidence, can we really keep doing the same things we've been doing for the past 100 years? We need new ideas, and new leadership to ensure our port is competitive in the twenty-first century. That is why I'm running for port commission.
