Whatcom County Republicans met at Kulshan Middle School in Bellingham Saturday March 20 beginning at 9:00 to elect delegates and alternates to the State Convention planned in June and to discuss the platform.
 
National Committee Woman Fredi Simpson of Wenatchee  opened the convention with a rousing speech.
 
Dino Rossi surprised the delegates with an appearance of about an hour and speaking to the attendees for 15 minutes about the problems we currently are having on all levels of government.
 
Many candidates spoke as well.  Including John Koster running against Rick Larsen. 
 
Vince Buys running against Kelli Linville. 
 
Jason Overstreet running for the open seat left by Doug Ericksen who is running for Senator Dale Brandland’s Senate seat.
 
Representative Ericksen could not be in attendance as the state legislature was meeting at the same time in special session.
 
Many new faces and many new delegates helped make this convention one of  the largest non-presidential year conventions with over 200 elected delegates and alternates attending.
 
All Delegate positions for the state were filled and many of the alternate positions were as well meaning a good representation for Whatcom County at the state convention in Vancouver WA in June.
