Outgoing Moderates

Outgoing Moderates - As partisan and inter-party bickering intensifies in both Washington D.C. and Olympia, many of our moderate representatives are opting not to run for another term. We'll talk to State GOP Representative J.T. Wilcox and Democratic 6th Congressional District Derek Kilmer, two moderates about their decisions not to run for reelection as MAGA right and Progressive left politics continue the divide in our state and federal governments.
