Sept. 29 Daily News editorial
Three Southwest Washington House seats are up for grabs in the upcoming general election. Nineteenth Legislative District incumbents Dean Takko, D-Longview, and Brian Blake, D-Aberdeen, have drawn challenges from Republican Kurt Swanson of Kelso and Independent Tim Sutinen of Longview, respectively. In the 18th Legislative District, Republican Ann Rivers of La Center squares off against Democrat Dennis Kampe of Brush Prairie on the Nov. 2 ballot. Rivers and Kampe are vying to replace Jaime Herrera, who gave up the 18th District seat to make a run for Congress.
....
Neither candidate in the race for the 18th District House seat has legislative experience. But Republican Ann Rivers impressed us as most capable of succeeding in the give-and-take of state politics. Rivers has a professional's understanding of the political process that likely would be of considerable value in Olympia. She's managed a number of political campaigns, as well as advised corporate clients on political issues. Rivers also has worked with the Republican Caucus in the Legislature and as a consultant with the House Republican Organizational Committee in Southwest Washington.
Rivers also is the candidate most familiar with Cowlitz County, having lived here for many years. We believe Ann Rivers can be an effective representative for the 18th District, and urge voters to send her to Olympia.
