This letter to the editor is not written to support either Gordon Shaw or Stephen Lamphear for the Burien City Council race. It is written in response to the campaign mailer I received from Ron Seale regarding Stephen Lamphear.

I'm suspicious of last minute personal attacks against anyone running for office. I'm never suspicious of last minute information about personal policy differences between candidates. I'm never suspicious about last minute additions to a candidate's list of new endorsements.

I am suspicious about this letter. I believe that the citizens of Burien respect a level and fair playing field when it comes to campaigns for any elective office. Personal attacks of any kind at the end of a campaign do not represent the higher moral ground that the citizens of Burien deserve.
