is a Washington State legislator from the suburbs of Spokane. He is a Republican, but the state GOP is apparently one of many groups that look askance at him and are even considering kicking him out of the legislature. I'm not actually wondering much whether he is a Baptist, I don't think he is. But I'm wondering how many Baptists in his District are applauding his Christian Identity and voting for him in spite of his support of overthrowing the Democrats by force. I think he is probably a member of ("Covenant Church is a non-denominational church, but we like to call ourselves Wesleyan/Reformed Charis-Baptist!"), and I suppose there's a chance that that is a stealth Baptist church (SBC or IFBC or whatever). Or maybe he's a Catholic (of the "not MY pope" variety); his bachelor's degree and JD are both from Gonzaga.
I worry about the idea that an entire legislative district in my state could repeatedly elect a guy with views and behaviors like his.
