Matthew Burke dinner
News, Political ·Friday March 26, 2010 @ 22:36 EDT (link)
We went to the Crab Cracker in Kirkland to hear Matthew Burke (introduced by his wife Jennifer). Matthew is running in Washington's first district against Jay Inslee. He wants to shrink government, stop bailouts, etc.; worked 22 years a financial advisor (wife was a teacher); seems interesting. His opponent, James Watkins, is a good guy too, and they have a good relationship; I would be happy to see either one beat Inslee. We decided to eat later, so just ordered drinks and ate from some of the food ordered for the tables. We donated $50 to the campaign later. It was a nice group of people, and a good time.
