Sad Passing of Sen. Scott White

This was difficult ledership, in wording the heading of this post. Friday night there was the shocking news of the death of Washington State Senator Scott White. He was a long time colleague from the King County Democratic Central Committee. I believe he was there when I returned to district politics, in reaction to the impeachment of Bill Clinton. In 2008 we were proud of his success for winning a seat as a Representative in the State legislature, followed in 2010 by a successful Senate race. But more admirable was the job he did and the way he related to us all. He will be missed, not just as one of us, but as an impact player in the state.
