Washington State Republican Party Chairman Caleb Heimlich has suggested that Gov. Jay Inslee reimburse the state for the cost of his security detail of state troopers while campaigning for the Democratic nomination for president, as Democratic Mayor Pete Buttigieg and Republican Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker did.
He did not mention Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, who did not reimburse his state for the wages and overtime of his security detail of state troopers while he campaigned for Trump/Pence in 2016. I am thinking there were likely others following Pence’s course in prior years, but not mentioned by Mr. Heimlich.
