Dave Ross would be a "dynamite candidate," according to the
state's Democratic Party chairman.State Democratic Party Chairman Paul Berendt is courting KIRO radio talk-show host Dave Ross to run for Congress in the suburban 8th District, and Ross says he hasn't ruled out the idea.
Berendt confirmed yesterday he's preparing to pay for a poll aimed at gauging how Ross might fare if he got into the race.
"In my career, I have never closed any doors. So when someone says, 'Can we at least look into it?' OK, fine," the 52-year-old Ross said from his Mercer Island home. "I can just assume that he thinks my name recognition would be a good thing."
