BELLEVUE – Chairman Heimlich released the following statement after the first and only 2020 Washington State Gubernatorial debate.

“Loren Culp won the debate tonight. When confronted on his eight years of mismanagement, Governor Inslee predictably defaulted to blaming Trump at every turn. Loren Culp effectively highlighted Governor Inslee’s record of failures on Western State Hospital, the Department of Corrections, the Unemployment Insurance fiasco, being clueless about lawlessness in Seattle and lying to the voters about raising taxes. Voters have the choice to bring common sense, accountable government back to this state. The gubernatorial debate made one thing very clear: it is time to make a change in the Governor’s mansion.”
