My man, ex-King County and now Congressman for Washington State’s 8th District, Sherrif Dave Reichert, was named to the House Homeland Security committee on Friday.
Being the #1 cop in the most populated county in the state, I’m pretty sure he has the practical experience to get the job done and already knows most of the folks on the committee and people on the ground.
Good call, Congress.
Reichert is the guy who caught three kids prowling cars in his neighborhood at two in the morning and held them at gun point while he called his deputies on his cell phone.
When they arrived, he was in his bathrobe and slippers and had a snake-light wrapped around his neck.
From what I hear, he still gets ribbed about that one.
