I’m not one who gets into political stuff, especially when people I have met are involved as candidates. I avoid it so much I don’t register to vote so I can avoid jury duty.
This guy, though, he’s running for Thurston County commissioner. Name’s Bud Blake. Just reading his goals and the problems he aims to fix on his website sparked a passion inside me for the very first time over this kind of subject. Especially after these last years with the current commissioner.
Blake doesn’t just pretend to care, like most do until the election is over. This guy actually cares; that’s what this town needs! In fact the first time I met this man I was so dang nervous (he was the one interviewing me) I didn’t know what to say or how to act. Within two minutes he had me laughing and talking about things like we were old friends catching up.
He’s the kind of good old-fashioned fella who you meet one time and just know you can trust. That’s hard to come by nowadays. All I know is this year, I’m registering to vote so that come November I can vote for him.
