Koster urged to challenge Congressman Larsen in 2010




Supporters of Republican Snohomish County Councilman John Koster want him to challenge incumbent Democrat Congressman Rick Larsen in 2010.

Toward that end, they've begun signing an online petition urging the veteran conservative legislator to enter the contest. On Monday, Chris Nandor, AKA Pudge, posted the details at Sound Politics

The petition found here if you want to sign it, reads:

We are seniors, students, teachers, engineers, working Americans. We are Republicans, Independents, Libertarians and Democrats. AND, WE the Undersigned, ask Snohomish County Councilmember JOHN KOSTER to run for Congress in 2010! We need new representation in the Second Congressional District. JOHN KOSTER: CAN YOU HEAR US?

Koster and Larsen squared off in 2000 in one of the closestcongressional races in the area in recent years. They were dueling for an open seat. In that four-person race, Larsen finished with 50.01 percent of the vote to edge Koster with 45.93 percent.

As of this writing, 145 people had signed the petition. One of those is Rick Larsen of Everett.

Hmmm, I better find out if he's interested in a rematch.
