Todd Bloom

I'm going to yell at myself in the mirror later on.

How dare you do that? Todd Bloom is going to be your option here.

He's definitely your better option than Stevens on this one.

Like I said before, it's left-wing activists against people that will at least abide by the Constitution.

So, uh,

Well, the five justices, and again, you can go to YGOP.org or KeepOrderInTheCourt.com. Scott Edwards, David Stevens with a V, Sean O'Donnell, Dave Larson, love Dave Larson, and Todd Bloom.

And these five, so I know that's hard to...

Remember, so when you're filling out your ballot, you may want to go take a look at that, and let's get all the votes we can.

Washington's voting period begins today, on October 16th, and Election Day is November 3rd.

Moving on to another important Election Day story, the Supreme Court has five seats up for nomination in Washington state, one of which is Chief Justice Deborah Stephens facing off against attorney Todd Bloom.

One point of disagreement between these two candidates is the court's decision in striking down the voter-approved natural gas initiative.

In this clip, you will see Chief Justice Deborah Stephens explaining her position on the majority opinion.

So in contrast, and I talk about this a bit in the opinion, in contrast to the federal Constitution where the government has only enumerated powers, a state legislature has broad plenary power and the people by initiative have broad power.

So the path of interpretation of the single subject, subject and title, silent amendment rules, is really to make sure that the law is passed with procedural protection so people know what they're voting on, so there's not a Hobson's choice when two things are put together.

Todd Bloom questions whether the court could have just preserved parts of the initiative and warned about what message this sends to voters.

You know, I look at Justice Mungia's dissent And, you know, I mean, the very first, it's interesting because, you know, we've got a number of cases and we look at, you know, what's important, what's proper, what's the best thing.

And then that third race is the court's chief justice, Deborah Stevens.

She first joined the court in 2008, and this year she's up for re-election, and there's a tax attorney and CPA named Todd Bloom who's running against her.

Okay.

The high court's made some really big decisions in recent years, sometimes involving initiatives.

So she is already on the court as the chief justice.

And her challenger is Todd Bloom.

I...

Highly recommend voting for Todd Bloom based on what he said about his judicial philosophy, based on what we know about Chief Justice Deborah Stevens.

I think Todd Bloom will have much more respect for the state constitution and the plain reading of the state constitution.

Now, he can't talk about it.

None of these candidates can talk about how they'd rule on cases, because if they do, if they're on the campaign trail and they're out there saying, oh, yeah, I'll vote to knock down the income tax, well, then they're going to have to recuse themselves from hearing the case on the income tax.

So it makes it a little challenging to figure out which candidates to support because they can't tell you how they're going to vote.

And, um, then the rest, the sheriff, prosecutor, treasurer, all six district court judges, there's no recommendations there 'cause they have no, no opponents.

And then the state Supreme Court, Scott Edwards for Position 1, David Stevens for Position 3, Shawn O'Donnelly for Position 4, Dave Larson for Position 5, and Todd Bloom for, uh, Position 7.

Those are really critical.

And then the Clark County Republican women, uh, um, support, uh, Jane Van Dyck.

Vote Angelus.

And finally, position seven is Deborah Stevens versus Todd Bloom.

This is an even easier one.

Stevens is the only elected incumbent on the ballot this year.
