Article is new enough and long enough. Article is well referenced. Tweaked the hook. Hook is correct length and correctly formatted. Article is neutral. AGF on fine details of US politics. It could do with a wider range of sources, there is too much from The Seattle Times, but nothing contentious so I don't think that is too much of a problem here. Hook has an inline cite. It's good to go. Philafrenzy (talk) 17:23, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

Would like to have more diverse sources, but unfortunately The Times is the only newspaper archive I have access to (the other major paper in Seattle, the P-I, shut down a few years back and took its archive offline). Sounder Bruce 20:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
