Grand Old Party

Here are some pictures from the George Nethercutt fundraiser I attended with Stefan Sharkansky last Friday. He and I were also delegates to the King County Republican convention on May 1st, where we (unsuccessfully) tried to have an anti-gay marriage plank removed from the platform and had a lot of fun doing it. And independently I've been working with the 36th District Republicans to get them a representative on the Ballard District Council, which already has Democrats and Greens as members.

Republican, you say? This will come as a surprise to my friends and family, many of whom knew me as a die-hard Democrat from my birth to the mid-90s. Recent events have convinced me I fit better in the party of Lincoln and T.R., rather than with today's Democrats. Someday I may bore you with the details of my transformation. For now, content yourselves with the knowledge that I'm working to make Seattle a two-party city.
