Matt Shea is a man without a caucus. But he has a House seat

OLYMPIA — We’ll soon know where Rep. Matt Shea will be assigned to sit in the 2020 legislative session.

How long the Republican lawmaker will keep his seat on the House floor is, for now, less certain.

Shea, you recall, is an ordained rabble rouser from Spokane Valley accused in a House-sanctioned investigation of engaging in an act of domestic terrorism, intimidating political enemies and training young adults to fight a Holy war.

That report penned by a former FBI special agent and a former Houston cop sketches a damning portrait of the six-term lawmaker as a diviner of divisive thought whose political and spiritual activism sow among his followers a deep distrust of authority and open, and sometimes armed, discord with those with whom they disagree.
