One of Washington's most colorful politicians, Republican Senator Maureen Walsh, has announced that she will not seek a second term in the state senate for the 16th District.
Walsh, from Walla Walla, started her elected career in the house in 2005. She had previously been a legislative aide.
Walla Walla had not received much national notice until her viral video on marriage equality. It earned her affection from across the aisle and nationwide.
A second speech on the floor as a senator last spring would also go viral, this time angering many groups by suggesting nurses spend too much time playing cards. She was actually advocating against shift limits for staffing smaller emergency hospitals.

Great post Mike. She has served the area for a long time.
