18-year-old to challenge Rep. Liias


Posted at 3:06 pm by Jerry Cornfield

Andrew Funk, who is studying accounting and business at Edmonds Community College, plans to run as a Republican against Rep. Marko Liias, D-Mukilteo.

Funk, 18, said he was getting discouraged that no one in the Grand Old Party stepped forward in the 21st Legislative District so he decided he would.

"I am going at this to win. I wanted the opportunity to run for new leadership and somebody with conservative views," said Funk, who voted in his first election last fall.

He said he’s planning to campaign on a budget of $5,000. He said he’ll focus on policies to cap property tax increases, reduce state spending, improve transportation, revamp the testing and curriculum in high schools and impose stricter punishment on convicted criminals.

Here's his campaign Web site.
