Green Party candidate Aaron Dixon has a novel justification for his run against Senator Maria Cantwell, who is well-known for having a strong environmental record.
Dixon claims there’s no difference between Cantwell and Republican challenger Mike McGavick, who benefits from oil industry contributions and whose environmental policy includes support for increased drilling on public lands. Never mind that McGavick’s more pro-Iraq war than Cantwell or that Cantwell led the campaign against oil drilling in the Arctic, allowing tankers in Puget Sound and for more renewable energy.
Apparently Dixon doesn’t mind if he siphons enough votes for the Republican to win: “Maria has supported the war, and the war has created a tremendous environmental destruction in Iraq,” Dixon said, according to the report.

political drama. does cascadia report have a particular political slant party-wise?
this is some great political drama. question: does cascadia report have a particular political slant party-wise?
Cascadia Report isn’t politically affiliated but writers are free to take a stand. The idea that balance is the most important thing in journalism is vastly overdone — the only rule here is that posts need to be fair. If writers have a political connection they will make that obvious.
