Skip Priest won't go for schools chief

Posted at 7:32 pm by Jerry Cornfield

Scratch Rep. Skip Priest from the list of possible challengers to Superintendent of Public Instruction Terry Bergeson.

"I'm not running," the Federal Way Republican told me late Monday afternoon.

I wouldn't usually write about non-candidates but Priest had been giving serious thought to going for it. He's been pretty vocal on education in the Legislature so it would have made for a very intriguing match-up.

State Sen. Jim Kastama, D-Puyallup, has been courted pretty hard too by
Bergeson critics. He has even hinted publicly he might run.

We'll have to wait and see.
