On Friday afternoon, June 6, a few more minor party candidates filed for Washington state office (see the post below about those who had filed earlier in the week). Will Baker of the Reform Party, and Duff Badgley of the Green Party, both filed for Governor. For state legislature, Ruth Bennett of the Libertarian Party filed.
A few candidates filed for state legislature with whimsical party preferences, including “Prefers Salmon Yoga Party” and also “Prefers Cut Taxes GOP Party” and “Prefers True Democrat Party.” Surprisingly, no candidates from any socialist party filed.
SalmonYoga is one word.
