Make that $46,132.60 and 94.5%

Thanks to some new contributions to Cheryl Haskins' campaign, including another $5,000 from Mitch Soule of Kirkland (a member of her husband's megachurch), the total of her "named" contributions is now $46,132.60. The percentage of contributions from Renton residents has fallen to only 5.5%. This is getting really scary. Those of you who aren't riled up about Haskins' anti-gay activities can at least understand the ramifications of her campaign being funded by outside money. Would someone care to write another letter to the Renton Reporter? Or contact the Seattle newspapers and TV stations?
