New challenger in state legislature supports the initiative process
On Independence Day, before a throng of people outside the Snohomish County Courthouse, Elizabeth Scott railed against government leaders for spending too much and intruding too deeply into lives of Americans. As she wrapped up that speech at the Tea Party Patriots Rally, she declared her candidacy for state office and ignited the crowd to cheers with a fist pump and a chant of “Life, Liberty, Property.” On Monday night, Scott will kick off her campaign as a Republican challenger to Rep. Marko Liias, D-Mukilteo, in the 2010 race for the 21st District.
