WA-03: "Clark County Politics" is wrong; Craig Pridemore is in and he's in to win

Full Disclosure: I am a supporter and volunteer for Senator Craig Pridemore's campaign to succeed Brian Baird.

Over at the conservative Clark County Politics blog, "Just a guy", a well known troll and Republican Party operative, says that sources are telling him that state Senator Craig Pridemore (D-Vancouver) is going to withdraw from the race.

This is erroneous. Nothing could be further from the truth.

As someone who happens to be involved in Senator Pridemore's campaign for Congress, I can report that last Friday night he attended the Thurston County Democrats' holiday party, where he introduced himself to the party faithful and executive board members and was well-received.

Though the party officially ended at 8 PM, Pridemore stayed until closer to 9 PM talking with voters in the northern part of the 3rd Congressional District and giving them an idea of where he stands on the issues. His Democratic competitors, state Representative Deb Wallace and peace activist Cheryl Crist were also in attendance.

I should also mention I'm in regular communication with the Senator (we exchange emails frequently) and I'm pleased to report that he's continuing to take the necessary steps for a successful campaign.

So perhaps "Just a guy" should stop sipping the tea and make a conscious decision to avoid starting and or repeating baseless rumors.
