This is an impressive candidate who actually elevates those whose support he wants. I feel smarter for having heard him.

Semi is exactly what you see and hear. I'm beyond grateful for his family's friendship. I have learned so much from he and his wife, Ann.

In fact, I was just meeting with a WA State Rep who informed us that most of our elected Republicans voted for Biden in 2020. My brained numbed. I have great respect for Semi for running his campaign on his own merit. But, I know who he voted for. What a wake up call we are in. Sir, Governor Bird, we are in the flock. God Bless you.

Just so you know that I would rather have Semi Bird for President than Obama because Obama is a criminal and Birds not. Bird would've been the best choice for President of America and Governor of WA. Not Obama.

Such a brillant, articulate, super-qualified solution finder -the polar opposite of the mush-mouthed, donation-seeking, self-serving career politicians that have latched on to the public teat, feeding their own lusts for power at the expense of the hard-working citizen.

A fine interview indeed, I hope WA primary voters aren't bamboozled by the 2 big money insider candidates, Just having Mark and Semi go the general election would make me happy regardless of which of them becomes governor. Man it's been a long time since I've seen that pipe art in person, feels like I would be there every month when I was growing up.
