Meet Republican Robert Reedy, challenger to Democratic incumbent Ruth Kagi

OFFICE SOUGHT: Legislature, 32nd District Position 2

PARTY AFFILIATION: Republican

TOWN OF RESIDENCE:Mountlake Terrace

CURRENT OCCUPATION: JACO Environmental

PROFESSIONAL BACKGROUND: Six college degrees including PhD.

WEBSITE: None.

WHAT IS THE MOST PRESSING ISSUE FACING VOTERS IN YOUR DISTRICT: Jobs, without jobs and people supporting their families, nothing else will matter as even the gov't can't suck blood(taxes) from turnips.

IF ELECTED, WHAT WILL YOU DO IN THE FIRST SIX MONTHS IN OFFICE TO
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE? Address the issue of tax holidays; get in lots of trouble with special intrest groups by insisting that we only spend money where its needed and at a fair (fair to the taxpayers) price. 

DO YOU SUPPORT/OPPOSE REFERENDUM 74: SHOULD GAY MARRIAGE BE LEGAL IN WASHINGTON? BRIEFLY, WHY? It is up to the people, the current oligarchy has shoved this down our throat as "they know best " Cindy Ryu recently pointed out that according to the liberal Democrats any initiative or any public imput changing or cancelling a gov't project is " the tail wagging the dog" since Ruth Kagi did not get up and disagree I can only surmise that the Ryu-Kagi team feels that way. Ironically their bread and butter issue, abortion, was made legal by an initiative in 1970; odd as how initiatives are now bad, George Orwell in 1984, "two legs bad, four legs better; later four legs bad two legs better." The liberal Democrats believe they can feel this way as they play chess while us great unwashed play checkers and we are too stupid to understand anything.

DO YOU SUPPORT/OPPOSE, INITIATIVE 502 TO MAKE SMALL AMOUNTS OF
MARIJUANA LEGAL TO PEOPLE 21 AND OLDER? BRIEFLY, WHY? No, when you tell young people that something is illegal for a reason, most of them figure it out; Ruth Kagi pointed out we are losing the war on drugs as 25 percent of young people use marijuana; I say that we are winning as 75 percent of young people have figured it out.
