In his fourteen years in Olympia as one of the 11th Legislative District’s representatives, Zack Hudgins has failed to attain even a mediocre ranking.

No To Hudgins For Director Of Elections
All of us who have lived in this Washington for a while remember the bad old days of the King County Department of Elections: a Democrat-controlled cesspool which would deliver freshly printed ballots in the hundreds to decide close-run statewide elections. By all accounts, the department has made great strides in recent years in becoming …
Hudgins Looking To Leave The 11th Legislative District
So 11th Legislative District representative Zack Hudgins has filed to run for King County Elections Director. http://www.kingcounty.gov/elections/candidatefiling/who-has-filed.aspx It would certainly be a bad thing for such a hyper-partisan to be in a position where trust and honesty are such major factors, but it will also be good to get him away from Olympia as an …

Fiscally Conservative 11th District Votes Down Prop 1
We are indebted to the 5th LD Republicans for the attached map showing the breakdown of Voting on Proposition 1, the plan to raise car tabs and sales tax to fund buses.

Zack Hudgins: Another 11th District Extremist

Who Is Zack Hudgins?
I decided to write something about Zack Hudgins (D), 11th District state representative. The reason is, Hudgins is somewhat of an ephemeral character; he's been down in Olympia since 2002 but I doubt anyone really knows who he is. He doesn't make waves; doesn't make the news. You really realize this when you do an …
Who Does Zack Like? Illegal Immigrants, Apparently
11th District Representative Zack Hudgins does seem to have a soft spot for illegal immigrants. This week he introduced House Bill 1998 which "allows children of illegal immigrants to receive Washington State Need Grants for college if they have graduated from high school, been residing in the state for three years prior to receiving their diploma, …

Hudgins Gets An Award – But What For?
According to the Renton Reporter, 11th District representative Hudgins received an award from Washington Conservation Voters. Reading the blurb, , its not immediately apparent what the award was for, other than something trivial. This environmental group must think Hudgins' re-election bid is in trouble. Could that be because Hudgins gave the finger to the 11th …

Zack Hudgins Update
My December 8th post noted that 11th District Democrat congressman Zack Hudgins is running for secretary of state. Now, the Seattle Times reports that the state dems have suggested to Greg Nickels that he should run for secretary of state. Everyone will remember that Greg Nickels was the toweringly inept mayor of Seattle, who was booted …
