EVERETT – The fight for Washington’s 11 electoral votes continues on Labor Day as U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen, D-Wash., leads a discussion of Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry’s plans, while sitting on a front porch in Everett.
The event begins at 11 a.m. Monday at 3124 Grand Ave. The conversation will center on the contents of “Our Plan for America,” the book detailing the proposals of Kerry and his running mate, Sen. John Edwards.
President Bush visited Western Washington in August, and both candidates are spending thousands of dollars on commercials in the state, which is one of 17 that could swing the election.
