Letter to the editor: Semi Bird is the choice of the people, not Reichert

Posted

A mass email went out to Republicans last week endorsing candidates; unfortunately this email did not endorse the candidate endorsed at the Washington State Republican Convention, but instead former congressman and former King County Sheriff Dave Reichert.

Semi Bird was our nominee, but the people with money in this state have chosen to go against the will of the people that elected the delegates to represent them at the convention.

Reichert and his campaign have tried everything to prevent the will of the people. First, they smeared Bird’s reputation and honor. Then, when that didn’t work, behind closed doors they tried to remove him from the ballot at the convention.

Reichert will not debate him because he knows Semi is a better educated opponent who would run circles around him. Are these Republicans afraid a third party audit of all the agencies in this state will cut the graft?

I have been told by several people that Semi can’t win. Well I guess not if you are doing everything you can to keep him from winning. Not one person has given me any reason to vote for Reichert except he is loved in King County.

Semi Bird is also loved in King County and the state by people that are tired of the same old play along to get along. Semi Bird has achieved great success in his life through hard work and perseverance. He overcame a life of poverty to hold a United States government top security clearance. He has several degrees. He would not have that clearance if his record was not clean.

Do you want to vote for a dishonest candidate backed by special interests, a man who is buddies with Gov. Jay Inslee? Or do you want a governor who will work for us, the hardworking, tax-paying residents who keep this state going?



Semi is more than qualified, and I don’t have the space to list all his accomplishments, but I encourage you to seek the truth and vote for Semi Bird for governor.

Congressman Reichert did not seek reelection to Congress because he does not support former President Donald Trump. Semi does support the next president of the United States. I prefer a governor who supports President Trump because of his policies, not because I’m a cult follower. Semi supports life from conception to death. He wants to see our tax dollars actually support the people and not just big business.

I also encourage you to vote for Christina Riley for Lewis County commissioner in District 2. She is more in line with the values that have kept Lewis County red.

Our nation is at a crossroads and it is time to turn our hearts back to God. He blessed this nation to become the most powerful nation in the world based on freedom, love and hard work. The 10 Commandments are the only laws we really need, but because we’ve turned away from them, we are becoming a weak nation. May God bless the U.S.A.! Amen.
