Candidate statement
Harman provided the following candidate statement for the Washington State voter guide:
| “ |
First and foremost is my commitment to our democracy. The lieutenant governor is unlike other elected positions. Distinct from positions based on policy or partisanship, it is uniquely concerned with the integrity of the political process. While the lieutenant governor does not vote in the legislature or introduce legislation, he or she is president of the Senate and presides over Senate sessions, assuring their smooth operation according to standing guidelines. The lieutenant governor is also the chairman of the rules committee, a bipartisan group responsible for setting the agenda for the Senate sessions. My greatest strength is in being a strong supporter within my field of responsibility. As Lieutenant Governor I would be a member of the executive team. In the unlikely event that I would need to assume the role of governor, charged with the full-time duties of the office, I am confident that I could manage all responsibilities required, and would serve the citizens of Washington professionally and competently. [2] |
