Yet Another New Challenger Enters the Race for Dave Reichert's Seat: Toby Whitney
Last month, a supervisor of software developers at Amazon named Toby Whitney jumped into the crowded race for Washington's flippable 8th District. Seven-term Congressman Dave Reichert currently holds the seat, but since the November election he's faced protests outside his Issaquah office from constituents who see him as a rubber stamp for Trump's agenda and as a coward who won't meet them in a town hall setting, mostly because he is and he won't.
Whitney's big beef with Reichert is that he hasn't done anything with his 13 years in office. "Choosing not to meet with constituents in public is malpractice to me," Whitney said, adding, "Meanwhile he’s only had five pieces of legislation with his name on it. The biggest one was the expansion of a national park by 5 miles by 7 miles."
"He's not the leader on any issue, not even law enforcement," Whiteny continued. "There’s no topic he’s mastered."
Reichert's inaction distresses Whitney right down to the very depths of his tenderest business parts. Citing his decade of "building products for Microsoft"—including a contact list thingy for Hotmail—he said the government could learn a few things from business.

Hmm Trump used that "run government like a business" line also. However the more challengers to Reichert the better.
