October 7, 2022 – At its regular Central Committee meeting last night, there was a unanimous vote to endorse Brad Klippert as the Republican write-in candidate for Secretary of State. With a top-two primary in Washington State regardless of political party, a Democrat and an “Independent” ended up in the top two spots heading into the general election, due to four Republican candidates running in that race, splitting the vote.
Klippert is endorsed by the Washington State Republican Party, 22 other County Parties so far, and that number is growing.
Klippert said, “I’m honored to answer the call to serve our State and work towards improving our election laws and systems.” Brad Klippert was first elected to public office in 2008 to represent the 8th legislative district and has been re-elected with overwhelming majorities in every subsequent election. Brad is a 7-term State House Representative. He currently serves as the House Minority Vice-Caucus Chair.
As a write-in candidate, Klippert’s name will not appear in the voting pamphlet or on the ballot. He’ll be counting on voters around the state to write in “Brad Klippert” for Secretary of State.
He opposes ranked choice voting, which has become a hot topic in the Secretary of State race after polls showed 40% undecided voters and strong opposition to Ranked Choice Voting. As Secretary of State, Klippert’s other priorities will include: Improving election integrity, Transparency & Security, ensuring voters are verified U.S. Citizens, making election day a holiday, and working to restore in-person voting. Klippert said, “My years of experience working within the legislature to create laws will help me chart a logical path towards improving our elections for all Washingtonians.”
Klippert’s priorities include:
Improve Election Integrity, Transparency & Security
Ensure Voters are verified U.S. Citizens
Make Election Day a Holiday
Restore In Person Voting
Oppose: Ranked Choice Voting!
At its regular meeting of the Clallam County Republican Party, the Central Committee unanimously passed the following resolution:
Resolution Calling for Re-Opening Clallam County and Defending County Autonomy
Whereas, the forced shutdown in response to the Covid19 pandemic has had detrimental impacts to the economic, social, mental and emotional health and wellbeing of Clallam County residents that far outweigh any health benefits; and
Whereas, edicts issued by Washington State Governor Jay Inslee threaten the autonomy of Clallam County, under its Home Rule Charter, by administratively usurping county authority and creating regional governance without legislative authority or legal due process; (more…)

Resolution to Condemn the Impeachment of President Donald J. Trump
Whereas, we are the Party of Law and Order and are opposed to criminal violence and destruction of any kind, including the violence at the Capitol on January 6th and the violence of BLM and left-wing rioters in nearly every major city throughout the summer; and
Whereas, we support law enforcement and the prosecution of all violent crime to the fullest extent of the law; and
Whereas, the multiple serious concerns of millions of Americans regarding the 2020 election were ignored by both the offending states and Congress, creating an atmosphere of anger and distrust; and (more…)
Caucuses start promptly at 10 a.m. (Doors will be closed at that time)
What is a caucus?
A caucus is a gathering of supporters or members of a political party to voice their opinions. On that day, precincts (neighborhoods divided into political boundaries and political parties) will have the opportunity to advance the issues important to them and select the presidential candidate of their choice.
At their February 6, 2020 Central Committee meeting, the elected Precinct Committee Officers (PCOs) reviewed, discussed and passed a Resolution on the subject of Medication Assisted Treatment (MAT) Facilities. (more…)
State Initiative I-976 – the $30 car tabs – passed by 55% – a strong majority. Washingtonians came out in full force to reject Democrats and their out of touch, tax and spend approach to government and 2020 is going to be a rude awakening for Jay Inslee, Bob Ferguson, and the rest of the Democrat elitists who continue to disrespect and neglect the will of the people.
Instead of listening to the voters, Governor Inslee and the Democrats are working to punish them.
Our elected officials should represent the will of the voters – plain and simple. Today’s Democratic leadership and Governor Inslee are more interested in forcing their ideology on the voters than listening to them. It’s time for change.
