Gonna start posting these so people can follow. At around 30min, someone suggests lining up homeless in front of a firing squad.

Has anyone seen an answer to the questions posed? I've been "following" CCwatchdog to make sure my name hasn't been outted yet and if Seegers would address the concerns raised and haven't heard anything yet.

Today's "report" alludes to it, but again no response. Just comments that none of us want to come talk to him on their podcast.

I'm really worried about a guy like this getting elected. His policies might appeal to some of the community, but his involvement in CCwatchdog, his garnering of our of state support, his undisclosed holdings and connections, and his momentum being driven by scapegoating the homeless. I know I'm not alone in my concerns, and I know a lot of us are doing stuff to combat him.

Side note, where the fuck is Mike French? Are you playing the whole "don't interrupt my enemy when they are making mistakes?" You are not going to get reelected solely on the fact he's running against a rich out of state right-wing populist, dude needs to be out talking about his accomplishments.

So that's my morning rant, Seegers needs to answer these questions and French needs actually campaign.

I'm just hanging out in my van at the spit and charging my solar stuff when a red pick-up truck drove by and the woman driving shouted "STOP @#$%ING TWEAKING!!!" at the top of her lungs at me (I kniw it was at me as there are no other cars nea me). Why? TF did I do? I'm not a tweaker...I'm just chilling here.

I am a longtime resident of the area, and the more I learn about CCwatchdog, the more my anger grows. That Tozzer guy is doxing people, leading witch hunts against activists, and is running someones political campaign. How long has this man been doing things like this? Why do we tolerate this? We are not Washington DC we are Washington State, we do not need such poop throwing and underhanded politics in our area.

Also that Jake Seeger's should fire him if he wants to get elected. To act like an independent than hire the most partisan man in Clallam county, it is asinine.

The supply of goth girls is nowhere close to meeting demand. I don't know if you've been out there, but the pickings are slim. It's BAD.

I've been to all the places where the goth girls traditionally gather Goodwill, Walmart, Blackbird Cafe the dumpsters in the ally behind EZ Pawn, The Pier ... I saw one or two but like... not a lot - they used to gather in packs, there used to be flocks of them. But now it's very strange... You might find one, but she'll be with a group of non-goth girls. Like an ostrich... that's been adopted by a flamboyance of flamingos.

And look - I'm not looking for myself, obviously. I'm a conservationist. There's clearly something wrong the ecosystem that's preventing the proliferation of goth baddies.

The good news is that I see a lot of diet goth out there, like what you'd consider goth-adjacent. So I'm wondering "Has the goth girl evolved"? Or is the supply dwindling, and we need to start a "Save the Goth Baddie" campaign?

Where do I go to get my HRT meds since the Planned Parenthood in town is closed for good? Do I have to drive all the way to the one in Bremerton?

This was posted by community members and more folks should see it

First off, let me state I am not a fan of Mike French.  I think the County Board has failed in many areas.  That is why I initially I found Jake Seegers campaign message attractive, but then I started digging deeper into Jake and his associations.  I did this because he is an unknown in this area.   After some research, my biggest issue with Jake is a lack of transparency and not reporting certain associations.   

First, public finance disclosure law of Washington State requires that a candidate is required to report all entities for which they served as an officer, director, general partner or board member. That would include entities located out of state, since the law doesn't narrow the requirement based on location.   This requirement is for the reporting period, or within a year of them filing their disclosure.  For Seegers, this would be from October 25, 2024 to October 25, 2025 (the date he filed:  [https://my.pdc.wa.gov/registration/public/-/#/public/registration/67238\](https://my.pdc.wa.gov/registration/public/-/#/public/registration/67238)).   

Since at least 2017, Jacob P. Seegers (Jake) has been a director on the board of the Seegers Foundation, located in Dallas Texas. [https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/752001868\](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/752001868).  However, no disclosure of his involvement in the Board was made. 

This foundation appears to have been established by his grandparents, Paul R. Seegers and Phyllis Seegers.   Paul R. Seegers is the retired CEO of Centex Homes, one of the largest home builders at the time in Texas.   The Seegers Foundation primarily grants money to faith-based organizations, health charities, and educational nonprofits. You can view the list of grantees in the document here (page 11):  [https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/752001868/202531339349104038/full\](https://projects.propublica.org/nonprofits/organizations/752001868/202531339349104038/full)

Suffice to say, some of these organizations are very conservative and not very inclusive.  But besides that, a regular grantee for several years is 4PA.  I find it interesting that in 2024, 4PA received a grant from the Seegers Foundation in the amount of $25,000.  That is great for 4PA, but why no public acknowledgement of receiving the grant in 2024 and the years prior?  News releases and social media posts from 4PA were plenty when they received a similar grant from First Fed for the same amount.    More importantly, why hasn’t Seegers disclosed his position with the Seegers Foundation and the grants made locally.  This may or may not be another campaign finance disclosure issue, but will let others pursue this question.  But still, where is the transparency? 

Also, the narrative promoted by the campaign that Jake’s story beings in the Sierra Madre Mountains providing medical care with is parents, but fails to mention that the Seegers Foundation provides grants to Mexico Medical Missions, a non-profit that operates a hospital in Samachique and provides medical care to the Tarahumara people in the Sierra Madre Mountains.   Worthy outreach and contributions, but why not be transparent?

Second, the biggest Seegers campaign expenditure is to a business called Project Tandem, 102 E 1st St , Port Angeles.   The purpose of the payments is for Design/graphic art, etc.: Seegers '26 Campaign, 4th payment. Continued marketing, website maintenance, videography, posting of articles.  See link:  [https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/candidates/3382056#expenditures\](https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/candidates/3382056#expenditures).

However, if you go to 102 East 1^(st) there is no business listing on the building for Project Tandem.  It appears to be a business using the co working space at Wander Fuca.  In addition, there is no businesses registration information for the principals of the business.  This is important for  transparency to ensure we all know who is behind this business.   Are they posting content on social media as “supporters” and not disclosing their business relationship with the campaign?   No way to know without disclosure.   Where is the transparency?

Third, recently Jake posted an article about petitioning for the reopening of the Olympic Hot Springs Road.   Great idea!  However, Jake did not disclose that he could potentially benefit financially from reopening the road.  Jake, through his real estate holding company, REV Operating, LLC (registered in the State of Colorado) owns three parcels located north of the Elwha Ranger Station.   These parcels were apparently for smaller privately owned cabins that no longer exist, but some of the parcels are still privately owned within the Park.  Obviously, if the road is reopened, vehicular access would be restored to these parcels and potentially the value would increase.  Why would not this be disclosed in the article?   Again, transparency is lacking.

In summary, my research has made me very hesitant about Seegers.   My concern is that if he is not being transparent about the items above, is there a hidden agenda in his campaign?   I look at his signs and the word “Build” stands out.   Considering his and his family’s history in development I am not sure what that means, but hopefully it does mean out of state businesses building unaffordable homes in the County and artificially driving up our assessed valuations and with it our property taxes.  Look closely at the contributions to the campaign, with money coming from Texas and California and this amplifies my concerns.  [https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/candidates/3382056#contributions\](https://www.pdc.wa.gov/political-disclosure-reporting-data/browse-search-data/candidates/3382056#contributions).  

PS.  This is all public information and not doxxing. As a candidate for public office your life is an open book.  If you don’t want to be an open book, don’t run for office.
