Will a Democrat win in Washington’s 8th LD?
October 21st, 2008 on www.mccranium.org
One of the Mid-Columbia races that has been interesting to me is the 8th LD race between Carol Moser and Brad Klippert. Moser, the lone Democrat in the primary advanced to the general election despite a crowded field of Republicans, with roughly 40% . And amongst those Republicans, social conservative Brad Klippert, despite being viewed as the least threat (and arguably the least qualified) and having virtually no fundraising, advanced to the general.
Here’s how the primary panned out:
Legislative District 8
State Representative Pos. 1
Carol L. Moser (Prefers Democratic Party) 12,603 38.18 %
Brad Klippert (Prefers Republican Party) 6,272 19.00 %
Rick Jansons (Prefers Republican Party) 4,541 13.76 %
Steve Simmons (Prefers Republican Party) 3,998 12.11 %
Skip Novakovich (Prefers Republican Party) 5,594 16.95 %
The table begs a couple questions as we move toward the general election: Will Moser garner republican voters who don’t support front runner Klippert on the republican ticket, or will republicans flock to the party brand and elect him?
Moser has a moderate record and broad support among democrats and republicans alike so it would seem she has the best shot at this race. Klippert, a social conservative, could gain some ground among voters who become familiar with him and place social issues above everything. But moderate voters who generally vote republican could find Klippert unpalatable. For my money, it will be the social issue voter who will be most disappointed. Klippert’s campaign is openly anti-everything from women’s choice to gay rights and voters appear to be tiring of dead end issues that never find any consensus or resolution. Although he has scrubbed his website some of the more hard core language and trying to float himself to voters as a moderate, it should be pretty clear to anyone paying attention that Klippert is anything but. And it was his 2006 Senate primary run against Mike McGavick that really explains what makes him tick.
"I, Brad Klippert, am a husband and father. I am a full time law enforcement officer, a veteran and active Major/pilot in the U.S. Army National Guard. I have a Masters Degree in Teaching and I am a licensed minister.
I am a God fearing, Bible believing, Ten Commandment honoring, evangelical Christian candidate. I firmly stand for and fully support traditional family values; the committed marriage between a man and a woman/husband and wife. I believe that every life is precious and valuable with great potential; including the life of unborn children. . .
In summation, I believe that there is a standard by which all will ultimately be judged. All is not relative. There are issues we are dealing with that are right or wrong and not simply subject to popular opinion or current trends. God’s word says, “There is a way that seems right unto men, but the end thereof leads to destruction.'”
Or this gem in a recent Tri-City Herald article:
If elected, Klippert said he would look carefully at the budget to find ways to cut wasteful spending, just as if he were looking at his personal budget: “If my wife was overspending our household budget, we’re going to sit down and talk about it and make a budget,” he said.
Pretty heavy stuff (perhaps especially for Mrs. Klippert).
It seemed most of the vocal republicans in this area were pulling for either Jansens or Novakovich in the primary and dismissing Klippert. And Klippert really pulled off a coup winning the 2nd spot on the general election ballot. And make no mistake about it, this seat is important, and despite the wincing I heard from Benton County Republican Chair after the primary on a KONA radio interview, the republican establishment is going to do everything they can to call the party faithful home.
And that would include some recent push polling. Phones around the 8th LD are being answered to the following questions:
"Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for Carol Moser if you knew that Gregoire appointed her to serve on the Transportation Commission to represent Eastern Washington?"
"Would you be more of less likely to vote for Carol if you knew that during her time on the Transportation Commission that Eastern Washington got the lowest gas tax money of any region in the state?"
"Would you be more or less likely to vote for Carol if your knew that during her time on the Commission she never even once spoke up for more transportation funding in Eastern Washington?"
These might be legitimate questions if they were. . .legitimate questions. But Moser’s record suggests otherwise and she has proven herself in both her stint on the Richland City Council and the Washington State Transportation Commission where she worked on complicated transportation issues. And with transportation being a key component of upcoming legislative sessions there is no doubt Carol Moser will be in the thick of those discussions. And furthermore, if voters were to take the push poll at face value, they would be ignoring how transportation tax dollars are actually more evenly split than conventional wisdom would suggest. Not until recent memory has transportation tax dollars tipped the scale to west side projects. And overwhelmingly, with the 520 bridge and the Alaskan Way Viaduct looming on the horizon, it is the west side of this state that is truly in need.
It's been fifteen years since a Democrat has won a legislative seat in this district. But perhaps now, in these extraordinary times, having the R next to your name on the ballot is less of a qualification than genuinely being qualified. Either way, this is going to be an interesting race to watch. But I think (and highly recommend) Carol Moser will have this one in the bag.

Moser, Klippert in lead for 8th District seat
By Chris Mulick, Herald Olympia bureau
Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/948/story/285333.html
Brad Klippert narrowly widened his lead Wednesday over fellow Republican candidate Skip Novakovich in the race for an open state House seat in Benton County's 8th Legislative District.
Updated primary election numbers released by the county auditor's office show Democrat Carol Moser well out front with 7,996 votes, or 40 percent. She'll advance to the Nov. 4 general election and face the top Republican in a field of four who have split the GOP vote.
On Wednesday that still was Klippert, a Benton County sheriff's deputy who hasn't reported raising or spending a dime on the race. He was getting 3,722 votes, or 18.6 percent, to Kennewick businessman Skip Novakovich's 3,377 votes, or 16.9 percent.
The 345-vote lead is up from 279 on election night.
"It's spreading instead of getting closer," Klippert said. "I'm proceeding with caution."
Richland School Board President Rick Jansons was getting 2,602 votes, or 13 percent, and Benton County restaurateur Steve Simmons was getting 2,316 votes, or 11.6 percent.
The new tally only includes votes from ballots received by the auditor's office through Monday. Ballots that were mailed Monday or mailed or dropped off Tuesday still haven't been counted.
"Quite a few," Auditor Bobbie Gagner said.
Updated tallies are scheduled to be released daily. The county is scheduled to certify the results Sept. 3.
Klippert and Novakovich have been complimentary of the entire Republican field and aren't making predictions about how things will settle out.
"It's hard to say which way it's going to go," Novakovich said Wednesday.
"All I can do is remain positive and hope for the best."

Democrats help fund Moser run for 8th District seat
By Chris Mulick, Herald Olympia bureau
Friday, Aug. 01, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/901/story/260129.html
OLYMPIA - The campaign arm of the Democratic caucus in the state House of Representatives has contributed $20,000 to Richland Democrat Carol Moser's campaign, suggesting the 8th District may be a true battleground this fall.
"That was a nice gift, wasn't it?" Moser said of the July 18 contribution.
A former Richland councilwoman who sits on the state Transportation Commission, Moser is seeking the seat being vacated by the retiring state Rep. Shirley Hankins, R-Richland.
Four Republicans - Brad Klippert, Steve Simmons, Skip Novakovich and Rick Jansons - also are in the hunt.
The district hasn't come close to electing a Democrat since 1992. Its Republican legislators often have run unopposed.
But the moderate Moser offers the biggest name on the Aug. 19 primary ballot and may give Democrats their best hope in years.
Democratic House Speaker Frank Chopp's recruitment of Moser has caught the eye of local Republicans. In a two-week-old fundraising letter to supporters on behalf of Simmons, Sen. Jerome Delvin, R-Richland, warned Chopp "has targeted our county specifically for Democratic takeover."
The contribution from the House Democratic Campaign Committee seems to confirm that. Though the committee has paid for a number of polls on behalf of its candidates, the cash contribution is one of only two such checks the committee has issued to candidates so far.
"It should send the message we think she's a dang good candidate," said Rep. Bill Grant, D-Walla Walla, chairman of the House Democratic Caucus.
"I think she's got a tremendous chance," he said.
Caucus campaign committees raise money from interest groups and other traditional political donors but get the bulk of their funding from leftover campaign money raised by their incumbent legislators.
They then divert the money to vulnerable incumbents and challengers waging competitive races. Often, most of the money is spent on a handful of races.
House Democrats have 65 members to fill their coffers this year and enjoy an embarrassment of riches. Their campaign committee carried over almost $580,000 from the 2006 election.
Moser said when she began mulling a run, Chopp indicated he'd be willing to help. "I just kept at it and kept asking," Moser said. "They backed up their words with a very nice check."

Democrats drop $20,000 on Eastern Washington race
By Chris Mulick
Wednesday, Jul. 30, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/olympiadispatch/story/256791.html
Rummaging through campaign finance filings yesterday produced this somewhat startling tidbit: This month the House Democratic Campaign Committee contributed $20,000 to Carol Moser’s campaign for an open House seat in the conservative 8th Legislative District.
“That was a nice gift, wasn’t it?” Moser said yesterday.
What it is is an unusually large check to be handed to a Democrat in that part of the state before the primary. It’s also a message that the 8th District might turn into a legitimate battleground this fall as four Republicans scramble to keep retiring Rep. Shirley Hankins’ seat in the humble GOP fold.
Moser said she is unaware of any polling that’s been done that alone would justify the contribution. So perhaps Democrats are enamored enough with current circumstances to think they could actually pick up a seat in a reliably Republican district that they’ve been uniformly trounced in starting in 1994.
Even active and credibly managed Democratic campaigns have struggled to get much more than a third of the general election vote in the 8th District.
This year the Republicans in the hunt — Rick Jansons, Brad Klippert, Steve Simmons and Skip Novakovich — are challenged to distinguish themselves from each other and it’s the lone Democrat who has the biggest name on the ballot.
Moser spent 10 years on the Richland City Council and has connections in Olympia from her time on the state’s Transportation Commission and Climate Advisory Team, among other assignments. Several Democratic legislators have contributed to her campaign.
It’s pretty plausible to see how she’d be the top vote getter in the Aug. 19th primary, what with the Republican vote being so split. But might she garner enough support to get elected in November? The Democrats seem to think it’s plausible and are backing it up with money.
At a minimum they’ll make Republicans work and spend their relatively scarce resources just to keep one of their already paltry 35 seats in the lower chamber.

Carol Moser to run as Democrat, doesn't expect bid from Hankins
By Chris Mulick, Herald Olympia bureau
Tuesday, April 01, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/901/story/144755.html
For Richland's Carol Moser, deciding to run for the Legislature was one thing. Picking a party was another.
And in the end Democrats' sizable grip on power in Olympia became a key factor for Moser, who will formally announce her plans to run as a Democrat for the House seat now occupied by longtime Rep. Shirley Hankins, R-Richland, at a press conference today.
"I've always considered myself to be an independent," Moser said. "I had done a lot of asking. I kept getting the same answer. If you want to be the most effective, you have to be in the majority party."
Moser says she was recruited to run by both Republicans and Democrats and could have envisioned herself running under either party label.
But she's never expected to face off against Hankins in a primary or general election.
"I seriously doubt she is running," Moser said. "I have been consulting with her all the way. My deepest sense was she was not going to run. But it's anybody's guess."
Hankins, 76, told the Herald this week that she hasn't decided whether to seek a 13th term but will decide soon.
Moser, 53, is playing up her extensive public service background. Most notably she spent 10 years on the Richland City Council before being appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire to the state's Transportation Commission in 2006. She's also served on a number of other transportation and local government boards.
"That's given me a lot of good experience," Moser said.
Moser spoke highly of the independent Hankins for her ability to stand up to her caucus and vote for her district. Moser pointed to Republican criticism Hankins has faced for siding with Democrats on some bills, including support of a gas tax increase that provided money for the Highway 240 causeway expansion.
"She's always voted for her district," Moser said. "Those votes a lot of times aligned with the Democratic Party. My skin is not that thick. I didn't want to be ostracized for voting my district."
Moser considers herself a fiscal conservative, arguing for spending cuts before tax increases should budget gaps appear. But she leans to the left on some high-profile social issues.
She's pro-choice, for instance, and expressed sympathy for the gay rights movement, though she stopped short of saying she'd vote to approve gay marriage.
Like Hankins, Moser said she'd welcome appointments to the Transportation and Capital Budget committees if elected. But she realizes that will be a tough chore in a district that hasn't elected a Democrat since 1992.
"My chances are going to be a little bit harder so I'm going to have to wear out my shoe leather," Moser said.

Richland woman plans to announce House run
By Chris Mulick, Herald Olympia bureau
Tuesday, Apr. 01, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/901/story/143680.html
Former Richland Councilwoman Carol Moser plans to announce Wednesday that she'll run as a Democrat for the state House seat now occupied by Rep. Shirley Hankins, R-Richland.
In a brief conversation Monday, Moser confirmed her candidacy but did not return an afternoon phone call to discuss it further. The state Public Disclosure Commission received her candidate registration form Monday morning.
It remains unclear whether Hankins, 76, will seek re-election. She told the Herald on Monday that she remains undecided.
"I genuinely haven't decided yet," Hankins said. "I don't feel like it's something that has to be done instantly. I don't see the reason."
A private party she threw Friday evening fueled speculation that she might announce her plans.
Instead, she announced she would spearhead the creation of a scholarship program to help high school students who fall short of having the high grades required to get into college.
She aims to help them get into apprenticeships and technical programs.
On Monday, Hankins said state colleges and universities have turned their backs on too many students by rejecting their admissions applications.
"We need to be directing these kids into programs that will sustain our work force," Hankins said.
She said she may have to set up a small board to administer her envisioned statewide program and raise money for it.
Hankins said she's been busy moving back from Olympia following the Legislature's March 13 adjournment and has had other matters to tend to before thinking about whether to run again.
"But give me a week or so," she said. "It won't take me long."
Moser's candidacy had been rumored for several weeks. It was Hankins who nominated Moser for appointment to the state Transportation Commission in 2006 when she was appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire.
Prior to that, Moser served on the Richland City Council for 10 years, most of them alongside the 8th District's other House member, Larry Haler. Her other board memberships have included the Association of Washington Cities, the Municipal Research and Services Center, the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments, Ben-Franklin Transit and the state's Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board.
Her candidacy would bring name recognition and credibility to a race that Democrats have been unable to win since the party lost all three Eighth District seats to Republicans in the 1994 election.
No Democrat has managed to get as much as 35 percent of the vote in any legislative election in the district since, much less win.
The party has regularly failed to field candidates. All three of the district's GOP legislators ran uncontested in 2006.
Two Republicans, Rick Jansons and Brad Klippert, already have plans to run for Hankins' seat this fall. And others are considering a run.

UPDATE: Moser to run for Rep. Hankins' seat
By Chris Mulick, Herald Olympia bureau
Monday, Mar. 31, 2008
http://www.tri-cityherald.com/944/story/142984.html
We reported this morning that state Rep. Shirley Hankins, R-Richland, hasn’t yet decided whether to run for her seat this year. Now comes word that former Richland Councilwoman Carol Moser will.
Moser is running as a Democrat. She was appointed by Gov. Chris Gregoire to the state Transportation Commission in 2006.
Before that she spent 10 years on the Richland City Council, many of those years alongside the 8th Legislative District’s other House member, Larry Haler.
She’s also served on a number of state and local boards and has developed a rich transportation background. Her board memberships have included the Association of Washington Cities, the Municipal Research and Services Center, the Benton-Franklin Council of Governments, Ben-Franklin Transit and the state’s Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board.
Moser will bring a credibility to the race that 8th District Democrats have been unable to produce in the years since Jim Jesernig, Curt Ludwig and Lane Bray were winning elections there.
The Benton County district has sent Republicans to Olympia exclusively since 1994. In 2006 all three of the district’s GOP legislators ran uncontested.
And when they’ve run Democrats have been badly beaten. The high water mark since 1994 was the 34 percent their candidate got against then Rep. Jerome Delvin, R-Richland, in 2000.
Democrats have generally shied away from challenging the moderate Hankins. She’s faced Democratic opposition only once in the past five elections.
UPDATE: Here's a nugget of information found in the Herald library system that may be of interest to readers. It was Hankins who nominated Moser for the Transportation Commission post just two years ago.
So chew on that.
