We went to a poorly attended candidates’ debate at the Snohomish County PUD building. Most incumbents failed to show, following the usual political wisdom. However, Brenda Stonecipher (incumbent) did show, and demonstrated her thorough grasp of issues, her loyalty to the city of Everett, her gracious demeanor, and her analytical smarts. It was no contest. Her opponent, Erik Richerson, is a fine fellow who is still wet behind the ears. His campaign signs suggest that Stonecipher is a “carpetbagger.” Absolutely false. She graduated from Cascade High, attended Everett Community College, and has a CPA degree; she lives in Everett.
