Mike Hope continues to rack up new supporters! With the addition of some Snohomish valley farmers support, it is only fitting that Mike continues to have a smile on his face. Mike says he is completely surprised with the election results that keep changing in his favor. Loomis, the appointed incumbent should be way ahead but as Jerry Cornfield put it in Sundays column, "..Liz Loomis should be sweating..".

Mike Hope continually out performs his naysayers. His list of supporters is filled with real people and not a carbon copy list handed to everyone running for that party. The latest primary election results have Mike at 49.38% about 350 votes behind the political machine of Liz Loomis. Mike likes to point out that Loomis has spent 2 - 3 times the amount of money he has and that says a lot about our campaign.

Recently the Hope campaign has had to replace some large 4x8 signs that have been damaged with graffiti. Speculation from a local campaign watcher is that it may be sour apples and frustration from the other side. At any rate the signs have been replaced and the graffiti reported to the police.

Stay tuned for further updates on all the campaign coverage and citizen rights in campaign oversight.
