Loren Culp, the Republican candidate for governor in Washington, claims to be running on his qualifications.
The candidate is the police chief of Republic, a remote mountain town of only 1,100 residents. The title of police chief is somewhat misleading, since he is the only sworn officer working for the town. By contrast, Washington has a population of more than 7.6 million and over 64,000 state employees.
Never has a seeker for the most important job in the state been less qualified for the job.
