Lately, I've been hearing speculation about whether or not Lynda Ring-Erickson, who is currently one of the three Mason County Commissioners, is considering a run for the 35th LD Senate position.
In response to my inquiry about this question, I was informed that she does not plan to run for the senate position. According to her campaign treasurer for the last two commissioner campaigns, "A main logical argument is financial - winning the senate seat would negatively impact her state retirement pension. She already took a significant paycut to go from City of Olympia Public Works to Mason County Commissioner in 2004. The salary disparity between full time county commissioner and part time legislator is even worse."
I hope this clears up any uncertainty regarding this issue.
