Whidbey Island candidate: US Rep deserves 'firing squad' [View all]

OAK HARBOR — A candidate for the 10th Legislative District said U.S. Rep. Eric Swalwell “should be front of a firing squad for your treason” in a post that got her banned from Twitter in 2021.

Carrie Kennedy, who narrowly beat out fellow Republican and Arlington City Council member Yvonne Gallardo Van-Ornam in a three-way primary in August, will face Democrat Clyde Shavers in November’s general election.

In a brief call Friday afternoon, Kennedy initially denied making the posts. She then said she needed more time to respond, as she was stuck in traffic. She added, “I have no idea if my account has been hacked.” The Daily Herald reached out to Kennedy on Thursday evening.

She added: “Anything that you do post is not going to be fair, because I haven’t had a chance to even look at what you’re talking about.”

Full disclosure, I grew up in Oak Harbor. While the community tended to be a bit conservative, I don't think I ever met a nut job like this lady.
