Had another GQP State Senator on who said he didn't know Ericksen's vax status.
He was a vociferous opponent of mask requirements, I know that, and really hyperbolic. All the WA GQP are - "Inslee is a dictator, F Inslee, etc.".
Interesting he went to El Salvador as an election observer; maybe he went to get tips for how the GQP should operate.
