Washington State Insurance Commissioner

Another position that has no reason to be an elected position.

Three candidates:

• Mike Kreidler (Prefers Democratic Party): The incumbent. “A focus of my campaign will be to educate voters on my proposal for a guarantee of quality affordable health care for every Washington resident. The people of our state have a right to a guaranteed level of financial security in the event of a health crisis. With my proposal we can save money and protect our freedom of choice while preserving the private marketplace.” Interesting I guess. I don’t have time to look at the actual proposal though.
• John Adams (Prefers Republican Party): Actually works in the insurance industry. No. No insiders from an industry regulating that same industry. No.
• Curtis Fackler (States No Party Preference): Running as a non-partisan. That’s a plus already. I saw nothing I really like.

I didn’t like any of these folks all that much, so once again I’ll do a write in.

My vote:

Samuel Minter
