Over 900 for Breakfast!

Jane Hague thanks 900+ supporters.

On Wednesday, Ken and I attended the Gala Kick-Off Breakfast for Jane Hague, who is running for King County Council.  Jane has been a Council Member since 1994.  Ken was amazed at the number of people in attendance.  He said that he had envisioned that we would be attending a small breakfast with maybe a couple of hundred people at the most and he was dumbfounded to see over 900 people in attendance.

Jane's husband, Ed Springman, had done a masterful job of getting people to organize tables to support Jane.  He was so proud of Jane and Jane did a beautiful job of thanking him from the podium for being her Number One cheerleader and supporter and promised all in attendance that she will win this election.

It was definitely a "who's who" of people attending from the Eastside and dozens of politicians were there to support Jane's kick-off.  We sat at Peter Horvitz' table along with other supporters of the Tateuchi Center including Betty & Kemper Freeman, Warren Koons, Pamela Rolfe, Maxine Barnard, Barbara Morgan, Alka Badshah and Brad Smith.

Honorable Conrad Lee, Bellevue City Councilman, led the Pledge of Allegiance and shared with us how proud he is to be an American.  Honorable Rob McKenna, Washington State Attorney General and Honorable Brian Sontag, Washington State Auditor were on hand to pay tribute to Jane and both admitted that they looked at each other as best friends in Olympia.  The financial "ask" was ably handled by Scott Morris of Trilogy International Partners and Honorable Joan BcBride, Mayor of Kirkland.

Congratulations, Jane!  We are all rooting for you!
