Mark’s behind in the numbers on Election Day, 63% to 36%, but the betting is, considering how slow vote-by-mail counting is in Washington, that less than half the vote has been counted tonight. A disappointing start but the counting will continue for days before the outcome is known. We’re staying hopeful.

In the meanwhile, Mark’s already preparing to amp up his Campaign ’24 for Congress, the United States House of Representatives election, District 9, which he will stay in the race for that whether or not he wins the Council election. Mark says he would be surprised if he does not maintain his present position as the most conservative candidate in the House race, and as always, he’s not compromising on any of his core principals: reverence for God, respect for life, respect for liberty and respect for nation. In the course of the campaign, he will have no choice but to point out the Republican Establishment in King County as RINOs, especially in recent years.
