and fine dining every other night with “friends” from the oil industry and other big corporations. They pick up the tab, and Doug Ericksen (R) pockets the $90 daily allowance senators get from taxpayers.

There’s more. All expense paid trips to exclusive resorts and golf, lots of golf, with his corporate lobbyist “friends.” They make Doug feel like a million bucks.

Whatcom County

Whatcom Bred Whatcom Values I grew up here. I’m not impressed by money. I’m impressed by the honest, hard working men and women of Whatcom County. I’d like to win this race, but I’m not in anybody’s pocket. I served as your non-partisan Whatcom County Councilmember for many years. On every issue, I’d listen to all sides, always keeping the people of Whatcom County in mind. That’s what I’ll do in Olympia. – Seth Fleetwood (D)
