167. Giving Olympia The Bird with Semi Bird, Candidate for Governor of Washington

Semi Bird is a Marine veteran, a Green Beret hero, a business man, a PHD student, and best of all... a Gubernatorial candidate for the state of Washington! Yet there's much more than that to Mr. Bird. He joins me this week to discuss his story,...

Semi Bird is a Marine veteran, a Green Beret hero, a business man, a PHD student, and best of all... a Gubernatorial candidate for the state of Washington!

Yet there's much more than that to Mr. Bird. He joins me this week to discuss his story, military and political background, and his platform should he become the next Governor of Washington. We discuss his profound journey from a childhood of poverty to studying for a PHD. We talk about race issues in America, his love for his country, his no-victim mentality, and his commitment to the North American Model of Wildlife Conservation. This is important when discussing Washington politics as it relates to the sportsmen community. 

I rarely outright endorse political candidates. Washington State brings a different dynamic to what we fight for as hunters, so I made an exception. I wholeheartedly endorse Semi Bird for Governor, he is exactly the kind of shake-up leader Washington needs. I see him succeeding in everything he does and after listening to this episode, I think you will too. America needs more leaders like Semi Bird.

Please consider donating to Semi's campaign, he's up against a well-funded machine so even a couple bucks goes a long ways. Even if you don't live in Washington, hunters need to help out our fellow sportsmen in Washington!
