Journal pudge's Journal: State Senator Val Stevens Decries Burning of Campaign Signs 4
Senator Val Stevens (R-39) has sent out a press release, with pictures, about her campaign signs being set on fire in Skagit County.
She is the incumbent being challenged by Fred Walser, who was convicted and sentenced to a year in jail this month. There is no reason to think his campaign had anything to do with these crimes.

Very likely not her opponent. Maybe a volunteer or Walser supporter. Most likely just some kids who don't realize pulling this kind of crap can lead to arson charges.
