The North Kitsap Herald is reporting that Pete DeBoer, a Port of Kingston commissioner, will challenge state Rep. Sherry Appleton, D-Poulsbo, for her 23rd District House seat. The story says DeBoer won’t initially declare a party, but will likely run as a Rebublican. When he files with the Secretary of State’s office he’ll have to declare something.
In the 35th District Daniel Griffey of Allyn has filed with the state’s Public Disclosure Commission to run for the seat held by state Sen. Tim Sheldon, D-Potlatch. Griffey has indicated he’ll run as a Republican.
