I really do hope WA opens their minds and elects him, not that loser Bob Ferguson who is going to finish running this state into the ground.
He is right on a lot of things he is talking about
1. Does he support ending sanctuary cities?
2. Does he support Mass deportation?
3. Does he believe in the green New deal grift stuff?
4. Would he agree to fire the top three levels of management in most all governmental agencies across the state?
Only Republican that is electable. Valor Vulture, Semi Bird is a Con Man.
If the Republicans don't get their shit together, they are going to miss their last opportunity to turn the state of WA around.
The perfect is the enemy of the good. Please listen conservatives. Thank you.
Great interview! Finally, someone who is common sense and listens to the people and gets their input to make decisions, a representative of the people. Someone who has been there and been successful in working in government, leading and getting things done. Dave is not just somebody making empty promises. Thank you Dave Reichert!
How about cutting spending, regulation and property taxes to prepandemic levels?
@ 12:18 - 13:36 : I totally agree with Dave. But prosecutors, jails... are local issues that can only be resolved locally by electing officials who will enforce the laws. The governor has a bully pulpit on those issues, but ultimately it is in the hands of the local voters
Thanks KOMO for these Gov candidate interviews!
I seriously wish the best for him. He’s not the best, but miles better than other candidates. Seattle quickly became problematic under Inslee and Ferguson, had solved zero problems and now we have young generations that could potentially have a much dire future than todays.
Why ask him about the convention? He did not even show up! It was honest! We the people spoke up and our voices were heard. RINO Reich had about 1 % of support out of the almost 2000 delegates and visitors that was there. The Republican party is stronger than ever before in WA state.
Dave Reichert 2024!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
It would be interesting for a local news media outlet to ask a candidate how they will fix the situation with the county executive meeting with the president and ruling the state by proxy.
Thank you Dave, we are supporting you,will vote for you. God Bless you!!!!!!
Don't let Seattle dictate the future of Washington State anymore...vote Reichert.
Dave Reichert you have my vote 🇺🇸2024
We have an opportunity to bring common sense back to the Evergreen State. For god sakes, get out and VOTE! Also, encourage friends, family, and co-workers to vote Reichert!
If you'd do some research on Reichart, you wouldn't vote for him.
Thank you! That's what I've been trying to tell everyone Unfortunately people don't do research.@@karenwaters7200
@karenwaters7200 Do research on Bob Ferguson and it's crystal clear who's the better candidate, and it isn't Ferguson.
Go, Dave, go!!! Reichert for Governor 2024!!! He is the man to fix the crime and drug crisis harming our state.
Actual ideas to put in place rather than promises that "just vote for me again and things will be different". Thats why I am voting Reichert
Chaos was an exaggeration. It has worked out for Reichert who realized a bump following the convention.
I grew up in the Seattle area, and I've lived in College Park Florida for 9 years. I have the opportunity to right now to move back, but Seattle sucks. I'm going to visit soon, but I would never live there the way it is now.
He has my vote.
Nice to see someone who is running for an executive office that wants to leave the legislating to the legislature, and respect the separation of powers. This is how we balance Washington State.
Here's my vote!
Only hope Washington state has
Lesser of the 2 evils.
Amazing how homelessness is never an affordable housing problem for Republicans.
Life long WA Dem here. This man has my vote. I’m curious how Mr Wilcox of my city of Roy feels about Dave.
Total chad. This guy is a great man
Dave Reichert, 2024 !
He’s THE MAN FOR THE JOB
No. He voted to get rid of Obama care. 5 or 6 time's!
I didn't know that, thanks. He has my vote.
@@sigsauer7929 of course!
What was his reasoning? I am curious.
Why he didn’t want you to have the same government healthcare he’s enjoyed all his worthless career
Reichert originally expressed concerns about the bill’s impact on vulnerable populations, particularly those with pre-existing conditions, and emphasized the need for a more comprehensive and bipartisan approach to healthcare reform. For instance, he ultimately voted “no” on a significant repeal bill because it did not sufficiently protect individuals with serious illnesses and failed to provide adequate long-term solutions
My Vote
Got my vote 🗳️
You've got my vote!
He is correct on everything he is talking about we need the public help to stop this drug problem in our state and cities help stop the homeless problem and the drug problems that they have
Let's go Dave 2024!
You’ve got my vote, Dave!
Leslie Nielsen 👍
Sadly, this highlights the systemic issues within the Republican Party
Apparently a lot of you have not seen that video of him and jay inslee. If you
Look at his record, You will see that he has voted mostly democrat on everything. He is a rino. Do your research people. I really hope you do your research. If he gets in there we will have inslee all over again.
So you want Fergy? Cause Dave is the only electable Republican. Valor Thief, Bird doesn’t have chance. Dave’s voting record in-line with Trump’s is at 92.5%. That’s very high.
Agreed. This is so frustrating. It's going to be more of the same.
92.5% voting record with Trump. Is that really considered a RINO? lol
@@realtorlesliemiller3293 92.5% voting record with Trump. RINO? lol
@@mxdirtcarver9203 So try to change my mind. Where are you getting your information?
Dino Rossi needs to be governor
ALWAYS the rite in option. I’m good with Rossi.
Is he running?
WHY...did they pick the worst spot for an interview...?????
Great spot for an interview !
@@williamdukeofnormandy1403 meth?
Chris Daniels Sucks .He was the Andrew LEwist Punch Pulling Patisan
I don't have money, but I'd like to help Dave get elected.
Make sure to vote! Ballots will be mailed out on July 18th and are due by August 6th. This primary is crucial, so let's rally behind Dave and push him over the top! If you're not registered, now's the time to get it done and make your voice heard.
I support this man. I agree with him.
He has more Jesus than I do!
Dave is been around for a long time,his became the establishment, we need someone new sorry.
Im a Democrat but he has my vote.
Ask him why he didn't catch the Green River Killer sooner?
That’s not fair.
@@noracharles80 It is when he constantly was focused on the wrong person and had the killer in his hands. All you have to do is look it up and the people who were working with him will open your eyes on how badly he handled the case.
@@spunky-kj2lb I remember it well. I was very focused on the Green River Killer case. Ted Bundy too.
Why could you have done better Mr. Arm chair detective? During the era of the Green River Killer there DNA was in its infancy and many other crime fighting advances didn’t exist to solve that case besides he was not the only one working that case. What exactly does that have to do with his ability to be the governor?
@@4catmom14 exactly correct. As an adult living in Seattle, I cannot believe anyone would condemn the job that was done to try and catch the monster committing these horrific crimes against young girls and women. To use this as a political weapon against anyone is abhorrent and too low.
Trump 2024
25% support of his party and I see very little actual campaigning; what are those millions actually buying? Who is propping up this guy?
Coming out of retirement like this just feels like controlled opposition for Ferguson; which would fit right in with Ferguson's well known methods of doing business.
OMG Dave lied so many times in this interview. Any one can go verify his past and prove that he is full of it. Then the convention how did he know day before Semi knew? What a joke.
Hahaha
Uhm, folks, he wasn’t even there -
I was a vendor and IF he was there, he was only in the parking lot - he was NEVER at the convention
His team packed up after he realized the majority were not voting for him
THAT was the “chaos” you heard about - it was when the majority of people there supported Semi and the party was considering 2 endorsements
He is an incredibly arrogant person
Semi Bird for governor!!
Regardless how one feels about the Democratic Party, how can anyone still support the Republican Party these days ... Especially if you're truly a conservative?
Regardless how one feels about the Democrat Party, how can anyone still support the democrat Party these days, just look what they have done to our state ... Especially if you're truly a conservative
How can anyone support a democrat with the crude they have pulled. Republicans have their rhinos. I will never fully trust any government official but I will vote Republican. By the way I consider myself a conservative, not Republican.
All our problems in this state are caused by Democrats. They have been in total control for over thirty years. Don't blame Republican conservatives for any of this they have been the minority and were getting ready to vote for Dave 🇺🇸
The Washington state republican party is full of self interested pro abortion pro gay wimps.
Maga rats?
For a guy that claims it is about communicating with the community he sure doesn't do any of it in his campaign, he's a pure politician of the worst kind.
Especially considering other candidates are doing weekly townhalls to listen to citizen concerns and answer individual questions.
He’s 73 years old.
And your point being? Age is just a number, it doesn’t mean you can’t have a brain and think rationally. Yet there is “ Exceptions “ to this as we can see in Democratic Party.
He doesn’t seem MAGA so why does he stick with the Republican Party? He’d be better off running as an Independent. The Republican Party isn’t what it used to be and has been tainted too much by those in DC. (I’m a solid down-ticket Democrat.)
Dave Reichert doesn’t seem MAGA because he isn’t. He represents a more moderate, pragmatic wing of the Republican Party that many feel is essential for balanced governance. Running as an Independent could be an option, but by sticking with the GOP, he aims to bring about the change many of us want to see from within. His track record shows he’s about practical solutions and bipartisan cooperation. Even if you’re a solid down-ticket Democrat, having someone like him in office could be beneficial for everyone in Washington.
the Democrats are pro-crime and all other pro bad ideas....
The democratic party isn't what it used to be as well. While I would rather see Semi in Olympia, any Republican would be better than the Anti-American socialists who have been running Wa. the last, what, 35-40 years?
Me too. That way you don't have to know anything or anyone or research
Republican, no way.
What a mealy-mouthed answer to the the vote by mail question! Tech does not mean it's good! He's too soft for the change that is needed here. It will be more of the same. 😒 This is frustrating.
SEMI BIRD for WA.
I hope people see through his BS. Semi Bird is the only honest candidate that can deliver.
semi bird is attached to an orange a$$
There's a good reason the republican party did not endorse him. He couldn't care less about the people.
Semi Bird does care.
Semi Bird doesn't have a chance in hell against Bob Ferguson. Conservatives, especially the MAGA crowd, are greatly outnumbered in this state. If you cannot court the crossover votes of Dems unhappy with Inslee/Ferguson, Moderates, and Independents in King/Pierce/Snohomish Counties, you virtually have no chance of winning a statewide seat. In King County alone, you are screwed if you can't get the minimum 40% of the King County vote. The Puget Sound Metro Region of Western Washington controls the political landscape, not Eastern Washington. It has been this way as far back as I can remember when I started voting in the late 1970s. Reichert has the name recognition, longtime King County experience, and federal congressional experience. Reichert is a moderate politician who is also a skilled negotiator/leader due to his LE background, and he's able to look at all sides of the picture. Reichert is the guy who can take Ferguson down. And Ferguson knows it. This election is too crucial to be stuck in political purity tests. The goal must be to block Ferguson from becoming governor because Ferguson will be way worse than Inslee. We must get a solid candidate who can court the crossover votes. And that candidate is Dave Reichert.
Shame on every single one of you reichert WARINOs. Shame on Dave reichert too. 35 straight years. Unacceptable.
He should go back to Texas
He’d never fit in Texas politics-they wouldn’t know what to do with someone as balanced and pragmatic as Reichert.
You should get off the stolen land you live on
@@albertedwards1612 He's republican. balanced and pragmatic went out the window. Next thing you see him is rioting in the capitol and hating on brown people and legislating women's bodies. that's what republicans do.
Nice guy but not the sharpest tool
"I'll never forget the day we found one of the victims floating in the Green River, her body eerily waving at me as if pleading for help. It was a chilling, graphic scene that underscored the brutality of the killer we were hunting. Each week brought new horrors-bodies found with rocks piled on them, others discovered in blackberry vines or hidden in remote areas. We had over 10,000 pieces of evidence and more than 40,000 tip sheets to sift through. It took relentless determination and sharp investigative skills to piece it all together and finally catch the Green River Killer." - Dave Reichert
Washington’s John McCain rhino 🦏
Exactly
I guess there is no room for moderates in either party. Another example of the perfect being the enemy of the good.
Today that’s a good thing as far as I can see, will he stand up to maga and the orange moron
Better than a Dem
@@noracharles80vote Semi Bird
So, as a Republican, you support abortion, and you do not support a Republican Presidential President? It does matter what you believe Dave.
Do you ever wonder why 40 of the top 44 hand-picked secretaries Donald Trump do not support him in 2024? Do you think it’s maybe because they actually see him for what he is and know that the truth behind the curtain is far worse than anybody is willing to accept in a new age of cult-like devotion?
if you believe you probably did not think about it long enough,
@@robert-nv1qn if I believe what?
He doesn't support abortion, he has the rape, incest, and life of mother exceptions.
He's solely running on name recognition & that he looks the part. 😞 The HOA candidate.
Ask Dave is he a member of FOP? He is an establishment politician. Vote for WeThePeople
Semi Bird For Governor. That is who the people want.
I'm voting blue all the way down the ballot💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙💙
How's Bidenomics working out for you? Have you taken any of those "migrants" into your home?
I get your commitment to voting blue, but it’s worth considering how one-party rule can lead to issues, even within the Democratic Party. For example, Democratic candidate El’ona Kearney has spoken out about being bullied out of the gubernatorial race to direct votes toward Bob Ferguson. This shows corrupt internal party dynamics that is concerning.
Dave Reichert offers a moderate, pragmatic alternative within the Republican Party, focusing on balanced, sensible governance. Supporting a candidate like him can help bring forth a more balanced government and prevent any single party from becoming too dominant leading to a one-party state.
Single party rule is guaranteed corruption. No credible threat of being voted out just allows them to run wild and they all cover for each others graft.
Even two party dominence allows too much of that. (We really need a rated or ranked voting system in WA to eliminate the lesser of 2 evils trap.)
it's the best way to tell the GOP we do not want MAGA--we want our party back!
Single party loyalty is a sure recipe for corruption.
The environment and global warming is not anywhere on his list.
VOTE BLUE UP AND DOWN THE BALLOT!
Dave Reichert actually has a solid record on environmental issues. He co-sponsored the Land and Water Conservation Authorization and Funding Act (H.R. 1814) to ensure permanent funding for conservation projects. He also supported the Northwest Straits Marine Conservation Initiative (H.R. 1678), aimed at protecting marine ecosystems in Puget Sound. While not as aggressive as some Democrats, it focuses on practical, bipartisan solutions that can achieve real results, something our state desperately needs given the challenges we face.
Why not be part of the solution for Washington instead of dragging us down to destruction
Never.
Global warming is a lie in support of elite parasites and the green new deal is about enslaving the common man. It has nothing to do with the environment.
