Read the fine print: Hit pieces aren’t directly from the candidates.

OLYMPIA — An array of political forces have shelled out more than $1 million to sway Snohomish County voters in state legislative contests ahead of Tuesday’s primary.

With names like New Direction, Evergreen Progress, Sound Jobs and Concerned Taxpayers of Washington, these political action committees operate independent of campaigns, giving them greater freedom in how they punch and promote.

“June Robinson’s votes made Washington more dangerous,” blares a headline on a mailer hammering the Everett Democratic senator’s support of police reform bills.

It’s the handiwork of WA Wins, funded entirely by The Leadership Council, a political appendage of the Senate Republican Caucus. This PAC has unleashed similar-themed attacks on Democratic state Sen. John Lovick of Mill Creek and Sen. Marko Liias of Everett.

Received one of those bashing John Lovick and the rest of the Democratic candidates for the 44th LD.

Lovick is a former Snohomish County Sheriff and retired from the Washington State Patrol. One has to be a special kind of stupid to believe he wants to defund the police.
