19. Yeah, we have a small-town cop, the only cop in the town in fact, running for Governor.

He's against democracy herself and claims that he's empowered to enforce only the laws he agrees with. He seems to think that some laws are meant for certain people and to other people, it does not apply. I can't believe he actually got this far past the primary.

Gov. Inslee and Loren Culp debate crime, coronavirus and climate in Washington gubernatorial debate

Culp has been hosting rallies across the state with little social distancing and few masks in sight. Wednesday he said he was not personally opposed to masks but didn’t think it was the government’s role to mandate, or even encourage, their use.

“Let the free, individual citizen decide what’s best for their families and their businesses,” he said.

...Culp has never run for elected office. He served four years in the Army, started a construction business and, at age 49, changed careers to become a police officer in Republic. He is currently the police chief and only officer in the 1,100-person town.
