TO THE VOTERS OF WASHINGTON STATE,

LAST YEAR I LOST MY WIFE OF 38 YEARS WHO PASSED AWAY AT THE HOSPITAL IN YAKIMA. 
THAT WAS THE WORST DAY OF MY LIFE. 

TODAY, I FEAR, IS PERHAPS THE SECOND WORST DAY OF MY LIFE BECAUSE A DREAM OF
MINE WAS DESTROYED.  I REALIZE MY CAMPAIGN WOULD APPEAR TO BE LIKE AN ANT
RUNNING AGAINST THE BULLDOZER, BUT I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT WE LIVED IN A FREE
COUNTRY WHERE ANYONE COULD RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE, NO MATTER HOW MUCH AN UNDERDOG
THEY WERE.  I HAVE LEARNED THAT OUR STATE'S POLITICAL ELITE, LED BY SOMEONE WHO
HAS MY SAME NAME AND WHO PRETENDS TO CARE ABOUT THE LAW – WELL, IT IS ALL
PRETEND – THEY DON'T WANT PEOPLE LIKE ME OR YOU TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.

I WORKED FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON, JUST LIKE OUR ATTORNEY GENERAL DOES
TODAY.  UNLIKE HIM, I NEVER ILLEGALLY SUPPRESSED SOMEONE ELSE'S CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHT TO RUN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE.  IF THIS ISN'T ELECTION INTERFERENCE AND VOTER
SUPPRESSION, I DON'T KNOW WHAT IS.  YET, THE AG CERTAINLY FEELS ENTITLED TO
SUPPRESS MY RIGHTS, WITH NO CONSEQUENCES FOR HIS ABUSES OR THREATS.  I READ THE
STATEMENT FROM A 20-YEAR COMBAT VETERAN WHO HAS FACED TERRORISTS OVERSEAS AND HE
COULD NOT RESIST THE THREATS.  IF HE COULD NOT, HOW COULD I?

OVER A YEAR AGO, WHEN I STILL WORKED FOR THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AT CENTRAL
WASHINGTON STATE UNIVERSITY, MANY OF MY CO-WORKERS HAD SUGGESTED I RUN FOR
GOVERNOR.  THIS WAS BEFORE MY WIFE PASSED AWAY.  THAT IDEA ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE AN
UNREALIZABLE DREAM UNTIL I MET SOMEONE WILLING TO HELP ME ACHIEVE THAT DREAM. 
NOW, I UNDERSTAND, THAT DREAM TO RUN FOR GOVERNOR IS INDEED DENIED TO ME.  NOT
BECAUSE I COULDN'T PHYSICALLY DO IT, BUT IT IS BECAUSE I AM NOT ALLOWED TO DO SO
BY OUR POLITICAL ELITE.

I AM OFFICIALLY SIGNING AND SUBMITTING THE WITHDRAWAL OF CANDIDACY FORM TO THE
SECRETARY OF STATE TODAY VIA MY CAMPAIGN EMAIL.  I LIVE IN YAKIMA, AND I CAN'T
DRIVE TO THE WEST SIDE TO DO THIS IN PERSON.  I DO THIS OUT OF SADNESS AND FEAR
FOR OUR FUTURE.   I READ THE COMBAT VETERAN WHO SHARES MY NAME DID THIS UNDER
DURESS, AND I TOO, FEEL EXTREME DURESS. 

WHEN I WITNESSED THE ATTORNEY GENERAL TODAY VIOLATE THE LAW, AND HE DID VIOLATE
THE LAW, IN PUBLIC – ON FULL DISPLAY FOR ALL TO WITNESS – WHEN HE SELF-SERVINGLY
DEMANDED THAT THE WASHINGTON STATE SECRETARY OF STATE MOVE THE AG'S BALLOT
POSITION FROM #13 TO #1 – CLEARLY IN VIOLATION OF THE LAW AND THE RULES – AND
NOBODY CALLED HIM OUT ON THIS ILLEGAL DEMAND, I REALIZED THAT WE HAVE NO LAW
LEFT IN OUR STATE.  THE LAW IS WHATEVER THE POLITICAL POWERFUL AND ELITE SAY IT
IS ANY GIVEN DAY, AND THEY GET TO VIOLATE IT WITH IMPUNITY.  THE REST OF US MUST
KNUCKLE UNDER AND OBEY THEM LIKE THE TYRANTS AND KINGS THEY THINK THEY ARE.

I HAD A POLITICAL PLATFORM AND POLICY POSITIONS THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN DEMOCRATS
A BETTER CHOICE THAN OUR STATE'S LAWLESS AG COULD EVER PROVIDE.  I'M SORRY I'VE
BEEN ILLEGALLY DENIED THIS OPPORTUNITY TO LIVE MY DREAM AND SHARE THESE WITH THE
PUBLIC, BUT I'M RETIRED, WIDOWED, AND NEED TO PAY MY RENT.  THERE WAS NO WAY I
COULD AFFORD THE LEGAL COSTS NECESSARY TO DEFEAT THE MASSIVE THREATENING POWER
OF THE STATE, THE BILLIONAIRES OR THE OTHER RICH ELITE WHO CLEARLY ENJOY HURTING
US.

MY DREAM HAS BEEN DESTROYED BY A MAN WHO DOESN'T KNOW ME, BUT WITH WHOM I HAD
THE MISFORTUNE TO SHARE THE SAME NAME.  THE NAME I WAS GIVEN BEFORE HE WAS EVEN
BORN.  THIS DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE GETS TO DESTROY ALL OUR DREAMS WHENEVER HE
WANTS, BUT TODAY HE DESTROYED MINE.  I'LL NEVER HAVE THIS OPPORTUNITY AGAIN.

I CAN'T GIVE ANYONE ADVICE ON WHO TO VOTE FOR GOVERNOR, BUT IT IS CLEAR THAT OUR
STATE WILL BE A WORSE PLACE IF OUR CURRENT AG GETS TO BREAK EVERY LAW HE WANTS,
PERSECUTES ANYONE HE WANTS, AND THREATEN ANYONE HE WANTS IF HE THINKS THEY STAND
IN THE WAY OF HIS EGO AND DESTRUCTION – LIKE THE ANT BEFORE THE BULLDOZER. 
TODAY I WAS SQUISHED, I HOPE TOMORROW YOU WON'T BE NEXT.  I LOVE OUR GREAT
STATE.  PLEASE DON'T VOTE CORRUPT LEADERS INTO OFFICE.  THINK BEFORE YOU VOTE.

I'VE ATTACHED JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF THE TYPES OF DIRTY TACTICS THEY USE.  THIS WAS
A LETTER THEY SERVED ME ON MOTHER'S DAY TO SILENCE ALL COMPETITION. 

I PRAY THAT THE TYRANTS WON'T WIN THIS TIME.
