Helen Sommers: An Oral History

pg. 60 The 2005 session – Gregoire/Rossi governor race still undecided
Governor, she’s an outstanding leader for Washington.
I worked well with her in so many areas,
including, of course, the budget issues every two
years. She is a very good political person, and she
worked so well with legislators. She was strong and
she was tough the four years I worked with her as
governor. I know the next three years of her term
will be difficult, given the current economy, but I
know she’ll do very well.
