Pinned by his own party's extremism, Dave Reichert can only watch as Bob Ferguson dashes towards a first place finish

Just as blooming crocuses and hellebores signal the coming of spring, a leak from U.S. Representative Dave Reichert used to indicate that an election was drawing near.

The former King County Sheriff would tell KING TV he was of a mind to run for Governor. He would get cold feet as the weather warmed up, but the attention was welcome.

Six years after retiring from Congress before a big blue midterm wave, Reichert is finally in the statewide political arena. The ultra MAGA Republicans who dominated the Washington State Republican Party’s biennial convention wouldn’t have him, but their own candidate, Semi Bird, was demolished in the August winnowing election.

It’s been tough sledding since.
