(Yes, it is early to discuss the 2009 election.  However, in Tacoma and Pierce County, I am finding that people often start running for election in some manner 2 years before the election (or more) and we are under 2 years for the 2009 election.  In fact, many of the decisions concerning local elections are made far before the year they are held.)

Pierce County Prosecutor

Backgorund

Gerry Horne will soon be retiring. Horne was one of the driving forces to try to turn around Pierce County's role as the "dumping ground" felons and sex offenders from the Department of Corrections.

Mark Lindquist (non-partisan)

It is pretty common knowledge that current prosecutor Mark Lindquist will likely run for the position. Lindquist is also the author of King of Methlehem discussed on Exit 133.  Lindquist's likely most famous case was the prosecution of the Tacoma Mall shooter in which he prevailed.
