Dark days for Rep. Dunn
By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com ReporterRepublican Precinct Committee Officers in Vancouver's 17th Legislative District met over the weekend to endorse a candidate in the race against Democrat Tim Probst. In doing so, as The Columbian reports, the 17th District Republicans set a precedent by endorsing a challenger over an incumbent for the first time in their history when they backed Joe James over Rep. Jim Dunn.
The vote was 16-1 and, as the Tri-City Herald's Chris Mulick points out, one of those votes likely came from Dunn himself. Dunn is arguably most famous for losing his committee positions after making crude sexual comments to a staff member in November of last year.
"It’s clear that the district is ready for new leadership and I’m pleased to be their choice to work to earn their trust," James said.
On Friday The Columbian also suggested that readers select James and Probst to move beyond the "top two" primary, leaving Dunn out in the cold.
