The Olympian: Republicans Name Gorton to Redistricting Committee

By Josh Feit January 4, 2011

State senate Repbulicans chose former U.S. Sen. Slade Gorton to do their bidding on the five-member redistricting panel.

The house Republicans chose Tom Huff, a former state budget staffer.

The Democrats already chose their pair— former Seattle deputy mayor Tim Cies and former Booth Gardner staffer Dean Foster. The four will choose a non-partisan (traditionally academic type as the coordinating fifth member.)

The Olympian has the story, and this funny quote from Huff.


"I know Foster, I know Sen. Gorton. I don’t know Ceis. But I'm sure it will work out great," Huff said.
