Politicians need to raise money to run. They need money almost as bad as they need votes and it has caused many to cross lines they would not normally step over. There is one that did something so selfless that it deserves special recognition.
Kathy Huckabay is Mayor of Sammamish, a newly formed city east of Redmond. Kathy is up for reelection this year and since she has identified herself as a Democrat in a swing area, her reelection prospects may be a little more difficult.
According to 5th District Democrat Bob Nelson, Kathy sent back a contribution and asked that it go to help victims of the hurricanes in the gulf coast. She says that her reelection seems trivial compared to their suffering.
In today's political world where Tom Delay smiles in his mugshot to keep it from being used in attack ads, I'm happy to know there are leaders that we can be proud of.
