Boeing engineer challenging McAuliffe

Posted at 12:01 am by Jerry Cornfield

Republicans have a candidate to take on incumbent Sen. Rosemary McAuliffe, D-Bothell.

His name is Dennis Richter, he hails from Bothell too and he works for Boeing as an electrical engineer.

Tri City Herald's Chris Mulick was the first to notice Richter's entry into the race. Mulick also pointed out the address of Richter's Web site is one of the longest you'll run into this campaign season - it's DennisRichterForStateSenate.com.

If you visit the site, you'll learn that he estimates that had be been in office the last two years, he'd have voted the same way as McAulliffe 75 percent of the time.

As for his proposals, one would cut in half the number of signatures needed to qualify an initiative. On transportation he says money should go into more buses and "a monorail system should be developed that utilizes the land now occupied by freeways and state roads."
