U.S. Rep. George Nethercutt wants to be kicked upstairs to the U.S. Senate, so he’s investing a lot of shoe leather in the 2004 campaign. Nethercutt, who is from Spokane, seeks to unseat Patty Murray. He visited Anacortes Monday, with stops including Select Styling and AM 1340 KLKI. This photo was taken in Mount Vernon last Friday night as Nethercutt made another Skagit stop to raise money and to see old friends including Mount Vernon Mayor Bud Norris. The two trace their friendship back to college days at Washington State University. Also on hand that night were County Commissioner Don Munks and Anacortes City Councilman Ray Sizemore.
