How the Washington governor's race is shaping up with three weeks to go

Washingtonians in the coming weeks will decide between giving Democratic Gov. Jay Inslee a third term or voting for Republican Loren Culp, the police chief of Republic.

Culp, 59, has been critical of measures Inslee has taken during the coronavirus pandemic, and has held rallies across the state as public health officials have said Washingtonians should wear masks, social distance, and limit contact with those outside their household.

Inslee, 69, has defended measures that he’s taken to prevent the spread of the virus, saying that the state’s mask mandate and other orders have saved lives and held up in court.

Inslee’s message seems to be the one resonating with the most voters.

A Strategies 360/KOMO News poll released last month had Inslee at 53 percent and Culp at 37.

A Crosscut/Elway poll in July showed about 45 percent of those who participated planned to vote for Inslee at that time, and just 14 percent planned to vote for Culp.

He appeared uninformed, lacking any semblance of a plan for dealing with Covid, and was unable to lay out how he'd govern if he won. Between Culp and Tim Eyman's upcoming trial on voting fraud, it's been a bad year for the GOPers in Washington State.

Enough to not let me take this election for granted. I do wish the MSM would stop calling Culp the police chief when he is the ONLY police officer there. Hell, Barney Fife would be the police chief if he was the only policeman as well!

Clup will never win King and probably not Pierce county.
Those are the election winners.
Last 2 statewide GOPers were Slade Gordon and
John Spellman.
Clup is a fart in the wind
