Governor Rossi has announced that he will be appointing STATE REPRESENTATIVE RICHARD DEBOLT to fill the Slade Gorton’s senate term after he died in a plane crash.

Governor Rossi reportedly had a hard finding someone to appoint because he didn’t want to appoint a state senator since Don Benton is likely to win his election to the third congressional district and to many open seats would give control to the democrats. He wanted Rob McKenna but he turned it down because he wants to run for senate in 2010 or governor in 2012.
