4th LD call for accountability

Unfortunately, Matt Shea’s dangerously extremist views are not new, and yet he was voted into office again last year.

This Republican representative does not represent the majority of the 4th Legislative District’s values.

We condemn his fascist speech, advocacy of violence, extreme anti-government, racist, sexist and xenophobic views.

Mr. Shea is no stranger to initiating harassment and intimidation.

The latest information to come out showed proof that he was willing to use his political office to pull background checks on local activists, while working with other extremists to use intimidation, harassment and violence.

We ask Spokane Valley and the rest of the 4th LD to continue to speak out against hate, violence and oppression.

We join the Washington state Democratic Party in asking for the Washington GOP and House Republicans to expel Matt Shea.

We also call on the 4th LD to hold Shea accountable, and to vote against him when the ballot arrives again.

We all have the power to create the community that we want, and that should include safety for everyone, regardless of their political views.

Rick Lloyd, Chair, 4th LD Democrats; and Rebekah Mason, Vice Chair, 4th LD Democrats
