Roulstone selected by governor to fill Hope’s seat in 44th district PAM STEVENS Doug Roulstone, left; Mark Harmsworth, center; Sam Low, right. All were being considered to fill Rep. Mike Hope’s vacated seat in the legislature. Roulstone was chosen by the governor to fill the seat until Nov. 25. Last July, Representative Mike Hope resigned his seat in the Washington State Leg- islature as the House Repre- sentative for the 44th district. Due to his absence and the fact that elections aren’t be- ing held until November, the empty seat needed to be filled. The Washington State Con- stitution gives the county council the authority to fill the empty seat, however, after interviewing the three can- didates, Mark Harmsworth, Sam Low and Doug Roulstone on Sept. 15, the council failed to fill the position. That made it the governor’s responsibil- ity. The law requires that vacan- cies are filled by someone of the same party that held the seat. A list of nominees was forwarded by the Republican Party. Roulstone, a former Navy Captain, was chosen to fill the seat until the November elec- tions are certified on Novem- ber 25. “Inslee was swayed, in part, by Roulstone’s interview with the Snohomish County Coun- cil. In that interview held on Sept. 15, Roulstone said that while another nominee was the best qualified and the par- ty’s first choice, ‘If you should choose me I will work very hard for the people. I will be basically non-partisan in how I work and I’ll do the best I can,’” it stated in a press re- lease. Low, a Lake Stevens City Councilmember supports the governor’s choice. “Captain Roulstone is a great choice and will do a good job serving the citizens of the 44th Dis- trict,” he said. Councilmember Low was asked about the process with the governor. “It was really pretty simple.
