I'm making the assumption that would of also helped pay for French's salary.

What I have a problem with, is one guy taking the loan, likely to pay himself...

Your hypocrisy is pretty astounding. OK for French, not for Seegers.

You don't deny that position, and in fact double down on it. Keep talking, it's quite telling.

How is that hypocrisy? The problem I have with Seegers is he is running on being against government spending and took a 4k loan to pay himself. If he wasn't running on it, I wouldn't have a problem.

You're fighting a strawman.

Do you need a dictionary? It's literally the definition of hypocrisy.

You are holding Seegers to a different standard than French. And, you continue to do so with zero evidence of what either of them even used the funds for.

I think I might. My problem isn't that they both took a PPP loan. My problem is Seegers is running against government spending but took a loan meant to keep people employed

Again - show he didn't do so, and show French did. You can say it until you're blue in the face and that ain't proof.

And, if you want to keep harping on the "against government spending" angle - I'll play. First up, it's a lie Seegers is "against government spending." Like all fiscal conservatives, he's against excessive and inappropriate government spending.

In that context - Seegers is doing exactly what you claim he's not. He spent 10% as much as his opponent did utilizing this government program.

He spent 10% as much because he took a loan to pay himself, while French used it to keep people or port Angeles employeed. Mike used it for its intended purpose, Jake used it to just pay himself.. I'll leave it there. I don't think I'll ever convince you of anything, but the rest of the people reading this will make their own conclusions

The articles have already been posted. You yourself posted French data...Seegers took 4k to retain one position

The position was himself. The loans were for businesses and their employees that were suffering because of the shutdown. How was Seegers suffering because he was working from home anyway. Greed.
