Huckabee coming to Washington




Former Republican presidential candidate Mike Huckabee will be in Washington next month with events planned in Spokane May 20 and in Seattle May 21.

The former Arkansas governor is now raising money for candidates, including Sen. John McCain. But his visit is not to stump for McCain, who he battled hard for delegates.

Nor is it to dredge up the subject of Washington’s GOP caucuses in February. If you recall, Huckabee had lots of doubts about the results.

Huckabee is coming to help raise money for the Family Policy Institute of Washington, the Lynnwood-based group that is trying to assert itself as a leading voice for social and religious conservatives.

Family Policy Institute is affiliated with Focus on the Family, the national group founded by Dr. James Dobson, and recently merged with the Washington Family Foundation in Spokane to boost its presence statewide.

Joining Huckabee will be Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council, which is co-sponsoring the two events.
