Executive Board Member Reports


Juliana McMahan, Chair

Primary ballots have been mailed, and so were our Kitsap County Sample Republican Ballots! Please make sure everyone you know understands there are some very important races on the ballot (even though there are very few things to vote on) and ask them to please return their ballot as soon as possible. To check on the status of your ballot, visit www.votewa.gov.


We have several events needing volunteers. To review your options, please visit https://www.kitsaprepublicans.com/event-signup.


KCRP has copies of IL26-126 (Requiring Proof of Citizenship When Registering to Vote in WA) available at our headquarters. Feel free drop by the office during regular hours (M-F 9am-5pm) and grab a copy. You can also return completed initiatives to the office (put them on top of the microwave) and we will submit them for you (be sure to sign the back).


If you are unable to volunteer, you can help by making a donation to help us send out sample ballot postcards. This mailing helps voters know who to vote for and emphasizes the importance of turning in their ballot. If you have not already done so, please consider becoming a member of KCRP by making a monthly or one-time donation to help support these projects. Just $5/week or $20/month would be a huge help towards our fundraising goals. You can donate online here.

Cerina Murphy, State Committeewoman

The DOGE Training from Glen Morgan was very inspiring. The Leadership Institute is offering some very interesting classes online. I encourage everyone to look at their courses (many are free!) and see if there is anything you think you would like to take.


The next State Committee Meeting is in September just before the Republican Action Conference. WAGOP recently said, “We're excited to announce that Dan Quiggle will be our keynote speaker for the dinner on Saturday!” Sign up if you are able and book your room! It will be held on September 5-7 at the Yakima Convention & Event Center. You can learn more and register online at https://wagop.org/wagop-action-conference-2025.

Alice Tawresey, Bainbridge Island

FLAMINGO FEATHERS ARE RUFFLED

A whimsical bit of fun has turned into a city enforcement kerfuffle. A high school student placed a couple of plastic flamingos in one of the City of Bainbridge Island’s two roundabouts. Social media support blossomed while the predictable Bainbridge Island curmudgeons made seven (7) reports requesting enforcement (removal) and penalties for the perps.


The city’s response was a typical “slippery slope” argument—if we allow one type of display, we have to allow all displays, including some that might be considered inappropriate, polarizing, or offensive. They claim that the city cannot regulate the type of symbol displayed, so they have to disallow all. The city also claimed that the flamingos created a visual distraction for drivers navigating the roundabout and are a hazard.


However, public sentiment supporting the whimsical display is building, including an entry in the Island’s Grand Old Fourth Parade, featuring flamingo costumes, balloons, stickers, and dancing. Had the city just allowed the display to stay, public interest would have waned and the final result would have been disinterest. Instead, a heavy-handed city enforcement action is typical, just one more way to limit freedom and exert government control.


GOVERNMENT CREATED GHETTO

The City of Bainbridge Island’s planning director shared with the Planning Commission that all 1,977 affordable housing units required by the Growth Management Act for the whole Island can be crammed into just two areas of the former city limits of Winslow, the High School Road District, and the Ferry Terminal District. The city has plans to construct a 99-unit affordable building on just 9/10th of an acre, the site of the former police station. The city’s stated goal is to provide housing for lower paid employees of the city, schools, and stores on the island. Reality is that these units will be so convenient to the ferry to Seattle that the likely residents will be commuters to governments, businesses, and services in Seattle—leaving local workers to continue to live of the Island. But even more unfortunate is that the low-income population will be isolated within these two areas. The Cambridge Dictionary defines ghetto this way: A ghetto is an area of a city where people of a particular race or religion live closely together and apart from other people. Why can’t people with low income live among all of us?


CITY COUNCIL PRIMARY ELECTION

No candidate for either the Bainbridge island City Council or Bainbridge Island School Board is identified as a Republican or even leaning Republican. There are no good choices in the primary for Republicans.

Christie Schultz, Bremerton

Homelessness in downtown Bremerton is an ongoing saga. Those not camped on the streets were in the parking on 6th behind Salvation Army for a while. The Left seems to want more dignity for the Unhoused. The Right seems to wants them locked up or gone. As per Grok, only 18 drug dealers in town have been arrested since November 5, 2024, and their status at this time is unknown.


The county continues the building of “affordable” housing for those in need. As per Grok, 3% of our housing in Kitsap County is subsidized by the county in some way.


Kitsap Mental Health (KMH) is allegedly triage for the homeless and is financed by Medicaid. What Medicaid doesn’t pick up will be financed by the county. KMH does not have the facilities (beds) for all the long-term mental health cases based on the number of people camping in the streets.


Downtown Bremerton is now zoned for six-story buildings. There will not necessarily be any parking spaces if and when they go in. Most speakers talked as if they were expecting a large influx of workers at the shipyards. This aligns with what the Federal government is projecting for ship building.


Sewer extensions and rebuilding are all in flux, and are taking a lot of money to build, resolve, and upgrade.


Bremerton schools talk a lot about sports and not very much about academics in tech, math, and engineering—which leads to more lucrative career paths. West Sound Tech is on a good “glide” path right now, with the coming projected growth of the Shipyards. WST upgrades costs 2.5 million.


Summer food programs are available through Bremerton schools.


Bremerton School Board Meeting (June 18, 2025): Items D and E involved “ethics” of school directors. Many principals seem to be retiring across the county, including a guiding light principal at SKHS (a conservative). This correlates to the passing of HB 1296—this fact was not mentioned.


Every city council and school board meeting includes finance and budget reports—usually verbally and quickly. If anything, we need a team to investigate and obtain hard copies of budgets for review if we wish to track this. Some of the reports are available online.


At the county level, there is a hiring freeze (same in Bremerton Schools) and a building moratorium.


At the county meeting Heather Cleveland talked about bringing in battery farms to handle the upcoming need for electricity with AI. Instead of toxic batteries, a suggestion was made for “cleaner” nuclear power, since we are a nuclear county.


There has been a one-year extension on the contract with Cascade Natural Gas for Bremerton.


There was a meeting on July 14 at the Bremerton Public Works Facility regarding housing in this region.

Linda Popp, North Kitsap

The Washington State Dept of Transportation held an open house to give folks living around the SR308 & SR307 a heads up about upcoming closures to those roads. SR 308 is a road I travel on daily—it’s the one running between Bangor and Keyport. SR 307 is Bond Road. Construction begins in 2027, when the WSDOT crews will dig up the roadway to replace outdated culverts with fish-passable culverts or bridges. They’ll be working at two locations on Bond Road, and four locations on SR308. The timeline shows that they will begin approximately July 2027, and complete in the fall of 2029. With a combination of 24-hour around-the-clock road closures and temporary, single-lane closures.


I spoke at the Kitsap County Commissioners’ Meeting on June 23rd about the North Kitsap United (NKU) proposal. I know it’s a hot topic with folks, but I keep thinking that if we pass this opportunity by, they’ll be looking back 10-15 years from now wishing they had the type of sports complex that NKU has proposed on their 400-acre site on Bond Road.

 

Not a whole lot to tell about the NK School District, except I was very happy to see in the list of student “Clubs” to be approved by the school board, there’s a “Jesus Club” (It stated, “the purpose of this club is a place for Bible study and meeting with other Jesus clubs”.) They did discuss the Capital Projects Levy Fund to power wash, prep, and do exterior painting of two elementary schools (Suquamish & Wolfle) and one middle school (Kingston Middle School). The scope of the work also includes replacement of joint sealants around windows, doors, and expansion joints. The cost of this project is $602,700.09.


Crosby Days is coming up! This is such a homegrown wonderful event! We could use some volunteers to help us get Initiatives signed and tell people about KCRP. Rep. Dan Griffey and Rep. Travis Couture will be there. There’s a parade prior to the festival too. So come and have fun at this very sweet event! If you’re familiar with the Crosby Community Center (where the event is held) you’ll want to come and see the huge remodel the hall has gone thru. It’s amazing!! Sign-up to volunteer at this link: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0E4BA4AD22AAF9CF8-57690809-crosby#

Sean Murphy, South Kitsap

Kitsap County Commissioner Meeting (June 9, 2025)

  • New appointments were made to county boards and committees, including Richard Becker (Mental Health/Chemical Dependency Board), Madison Herman (Bremerton Ferry Advisory Committee), and Kate Joncas (Kingston Community Advisory Committee).
  • Proclamations recognizing Juneteenth 2025 and June as Pride Month, both presented by Kimberly Williams (DEI manager), passed unanimously.
  • Budget measures:
  • A temporary hiring freeze was enacted due to an $8 million general fund shortfall, attributed to inflation and flat revenue growth. Critical positions and promotions are exempt, with HR determining exceptions.
  • Multiple mental health contracts were grouped and extended, totaling over $7 million for services including crisis outreach and non-Medicaid populations, funded by state, federal grants, and health authorities.
  • Infrastructure:
  • The commissioners accepted a $9.85 million loan from the Dept. of Ecology for the county's waste treatment plant design (20-year repayment, design ~90% complete).
  • Public Hearings and Ordinances:
  • Right of way vacation for the North Perry Water District was approved.
  • Building and fire code amendments were discussed, with the creation of a work group to refine definitions and compliance to be completed by July 2026; immediate code revisions (reducing requirements, compliance with state law) were passed.
  • Impact fees: A hearing covered increases in park, school, and road impact fees (now over $1,000 for a 2,000 sq. ft. home), collection timing, and state law compliance. Decision and further deliberation were moved to the next meeting, with public comment open until June 20.
  • CDBG/HOME federal grant priorities: ~$20 million in combined federal and state funds for homeless/affordable housing, with HOME funds at $750k/year and expected federal cuts. Bainbridge and Poulsbo opted out; most funds will target new rental housing in Bremerton.
  • Rural rezone issues drew extensive public comment:
  • Concerns included traffic impacts, urban sprawl, loss of rural character, environmental risks (water/septic issues), and alignment (or conflict) with the county's comprehensive plan. Some called for more public playfields and gun ranges.
  • Many residents and officials opposed a proposal to increase density on Bond Road (from 20 to 80 homes, adding accessory dwelling units), urging preservation of large, wooded parcels and environmental protections.
  • Tribal representatives and city officials raised objections to rezoning outside urban growth areas due to growth, habitat, and water impacts.
  • Debate also included questions about sanctuary policies and federal legal compliance, new taxes, and broader growth management.
  • Other action:
  • Final board discussions addressed comments on the need for fiscal responsibility, law enforcement priorities, and ongoing tension between maintaining rural character and accommodating growth.


Overall, the meeting focused on managing financial challenges, updating county codes and infrastructure, and responding to rural development pressure, with broad opportunities for public input on controversial rezone proposals and future spending priorities


South Kitsap School Board Meeting (June 18, 2025)

  • Public Comment & Recognitions:
  • Community and union representatives shared updates and gratitude, including discussion of the Polaras Theater Project’s grant and call for volunteers, ROTC assistance, and celebrating the Class of 2025 and Circle of Champions.
  • Concerns were raised about parent-teacher communication processes and staff protection from harassment.
  • Superintendent’s Report:
  • Reviewed community accolades, staff policy updates (notably regarding support for pregnant/family staff), curriculum development, and equity initiatives.
  • Noted the challenge of implementing virtual learning days due to unequal internet access.
  • Budget & Enrollment:
  • Enrollment continues to decline (120 students below projection; biggest drop in elementary level), likely due to lower birth rates and an increase in homeschooling after the pandemic.
  • Projected enrollment for 2025-26 reduced further.
  • Revenue shortfall (~$1.39M) due to lower enrollment, but district expects to balance with DOD funding, “safety net” state funds, a $2M West Sound STEM grant, and carryover funds.
  • Expenditures adjusted downward with reduced staffing and facilities costs; salary increases and medical cost increases covered in part by local levy.
  • No immediate plans to cut federal food service, but ongoing funding reductions may require future changes.
  • Anticipates formal public hearing and final 2025-26 budget adoption in August.
  • Facilities & Operations Update:
  • Summer work includes facility repairs, custodial training, and grant-funded building updates at the high school.
  • Board & Superintendent Evaluation:

Overall, the meeting centered on managing enrollment-driven budgeting, adapting staffing and facilities, celebrating recent student and staff achievements, refining communications and parent involvement, and supporting employees through labor agreements and policy updates. The board also showed continued interest in student input and maintaining financial stability despite state and federal uncertainties.

Bits & Pieces


Tim Eyman spoke at the VFW (sponsored by the Puget Sound Patriots) on June 16, 2025. He was funny, intelligent, inspirational, quirky, and a bit sardonic (my kind of people!) But most of all, he brought to light something that is happening to Republicans who are a threat to those sucking our tax money. It happened to Ross Perot, Sarah Palin, it happened to Bork. It happened to Trump and Cavenaugh too, who fought back successfully. There must be a think tank within the Democratic party which plans these Lawfare scenarios to break the bank and the spirit of Republican political figures of worth. (Those over the target get this sort of reaction.) If you want to get Eyman's activist updates (parent's rights, 1296, election integrity, etc) send him your email via text at 509-991-5295 to get his notifications on state initiatives.

Four elected representatives spoke on June 25 at our meeting at the Cloverleaf: Rep. Michelle Caldier (26th LD), and Sen. Drew MacEwen, Rep. Dan Griffey, Rep. Travis Couture (35th LD) (https://rumble.com/v6vlw57-6-25-25-legislative-session-debrief.html)


Rep. Nance (23 LD) spoke at the Unitarian Church (Enetai-Illahee plan) on June 27.


Glen Morgan held DOGE training on June 26; he has innumerable videos available on youtube.com.


Heather Cleveland held "The Year of the Rural" workshop on June 23 (video should be up on the Kitsap County website). The last week in June was utterly overwhelming with ideas on how to tackle the problems of Kitsap County.


Bottom line: ALL the town halls and speeches were two ideas. First, people want to live in a nice natural rural county which does not look like downtown Los Angeles with overwhelming development. Second, people want to know where their tax money is being spent. KCRP is forming a DOGE unit. Stay tuned for upcoming developments.

Moms for Liberty came through with the following SCOTUS decisions: Mahmoud v. Taylor: Moms for Liberty applauds [SCOTUS] ruling in Mahmoud v. Taylor, which upheld parental rights in a key religious liberty case out of Montgomery County, MD. The Court ruled that schools violated parental rights by refusing to allow opt-outs from radical LGBTQ curriculum—even for children as young as pre-K. AND United States v. Skrmetti: In a landmark 6-3 ruling, [SCOTUS] upheld Tennessee’s law protecting minors from irreversible gender treatments, including puberty blockers and hormones. This is a major victory for parental rights, child safety, and common sense. Restoration of the Parents' bill of Rights (WA state) is in the works.

July 14 news feed (FNC) shows a lot of Trump Derangement Syndrome being spewed by the NEA (the teacher's union).

https://www.foxnews.com/media/republican-lawmakers-introduce-bill-repeal-largest-teachers-unions-federal-charter


This is not ok, especially since Washington State is a "closed shop." Not all teachers spew politics, most teachers focus on the "three Rs" in the classroom. Parents have some choices to make. You can home school, move to another state, you can pay for a private school, or you can start communicating clearly with your secondary students (starting in 5th grade) regarding sexuality, politics, economics, and freedom of speech. There are many laws involved here, religion and politics are supposed to be left at the schoolroom door; schools are for learning, not brainwashing. Don't let your children be bullied by radical teachers. Encourage them to report biased teachers.

Garage Sale: KCRP/23rd LDRC fundraiser in July was a great success! We had much comradery and visited with many folks from around the county.


★★★★★


According to Grok, only 18 people have been arrested in the past year for dealing drugs in Kitsap County. We can all agree, through our contacts, and by observing the homeless populations that there is a LOT of street drugs on the loose out there. How do we light a fire under law enforcement to get (and keep!) the drug dealers off the streets of Kitsap County? Upon speaking to a local sheriff, he commented "talk to the County Commissioners."


July 14: Town Hall with Anna Mockler of the Bremerton City Council. Many things regarding affordable housing were discussed. This is a VERY complex issue. Your tax dollars subsidize 3% of housing in Kitsap Co. For now, in Bremerton, EMERGENCY homelessness questions should be referred to Tony Ives (head of KCR) www.kcr.org, 360-473-2013. More to come. 


★★★★★


There was a very good televised Federal Cabinet meeting on July 8, 2025: The transportation Secretary spoke and said he got 12.5 Billion to upgrade our systems, such as air traffic control. (About 1.10 minutes into the video.) There is also a fantastic segment on energy; wind power longitudinally is turning out to be a toxic boondoggle with corroding windmills, which only account for perhaps 1% of our energy needs. Solar energy is also very inefficient, ruins the landscape and has so far destroyed a delicate biome in SoCal by destroying endangered Joshua trees.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vL6PaBTA4I8


Frankly the WHOLE cabinet meeting was incredibly enlightening (Trump showed off his architectural soul by discussing the interior decorating) each secretary had input to the management of our country. In essence, people who "blame Trump" are just ignorant. There are some VERY intelligent people running our country, and they work as a professional team.


We of Kitsap should stay aware of future energy needs: Heather Cleveland on June 23 mentioned bringing in “battery banks” to Kitsap to deal with energy needs of AI. Batteries are toxic long term: nuclear is cleaner and by-products are easily managed. We ARE a nuclear community, in case you missed this. 


★★★★★


Scott Hendon spoke at KCRP on July 7 generally against the Bond Road development plan. Mr. Hendon's biggest complaint was that the financing is not clear. The anti-development movement in Kitsap has escalated to the point of declaring a year-long moratorium on tearing down trees. Royal Valley now has a petition on Change.org. Enetai-Illahee will be getting a "play book" in September on how to develop their own plan and down-size their zoning. 


★★★★★


As per Google AI: Bremerton has been selected as an official FIFA World Cup 2026 fan zone, meaning it will be a hub for World Cup activities and celebrations in conjunction with the games being held in Seattle. This selection will allow Bremerton to host watch parties, community events, and other soccer-related festivities during the tournament. Bremerton will be one of nine locations in Washington designated as a fan zone for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which will be hosted in Seattle. The Bremerton City Council (July 9 work session) was very excited about the potential economic income from rentals, and is planning a system to access B&Bs across the community. 


★★★★★


At the KCRP meeting on July 7, the Chair talked about how initiatives are now named differently. Initiatives to the Legislature now have an "IL" followed by the last two digits of the year, then a three-digit number. The new initiative numbered IL26-126 says you must prove you are a U.S. Citizen before you can register to vote.


At a recent WSRP meeting they discussed the possibility of getting an injunction to block the use of the Omniballot system, which is outside the authority of the county auditor.


Also, Title 9 is being challenged in many states, to protect women's sports (this is also being addressed at the Federal level by the Secretary of Education, at ALL levels of learning).

The DOGE RIF is still on in the Fed, due to a decision by SCOTUS.

https://www.foxnews.com/politics/state-department-ax-1800-employees


My source at the IRS says they too are subject to this, but it's at a lower rate, and "unnecessary" people who might otherwise be RIF'ed are being transferred into an oversight department within the IRS. The State Department just did a RIF, by some calculations saving over $78 million every year.

Summer Reading suggestions: Heinlein's novel Double Star. The novel reads like an adult murder mystery, involves some very heavy-duty politics, set in the science-fiction future. The story line has worthy elements from the worlds of acting and psychology. It makes you think, but it is also intended to be amusement, something to relax with. All of the Heinlein books are good for self-help as well as honing PCO skills. Robert Heinlein was a staunch patriot, and himself a Colorado PCO during the Goldwater election of 1964.
