GOP self-starter announces candidacy; party still waiting

By DAVID AMMONS
AP POLITICAL WRITER

OLYMPIA -- Republicans finally have a candidate for governor - Dr. Federico Cruz, director of the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department.

Since Democratic Gov. Gary Locke announced last week that he's stepping down after two terms, his party has fielded three big-name Democrats: Attorney General Christine Gregoire, King County Executive Ron Sims and former Supreme Court Justice Phil Talmadge of West Seattle.
