U.S. Rep. Denny Heck made it official Thursday morning, formally announcing his candidacy for Washington lieutenant governor.

“We are entering an unprecedented era where a civil and fair approach to politics is urgently called for to get things done for Washington families,” Heck said in a written statement. “Especially in times like these, we need civility and decency in our political discourse and bold economic leadership to rebuild economic prosperity to every community.”

Last Friday, Heck filed paperwork with the state Public Disclosure Commission to run for the statewide post.

His formal announcement completed a dramatic change in course. Heck announced in December that he would not seek re-election to Congress this year, saying the discourse in Washington, D.C., left him feeling discouraged.

Sounds like he's not fond of the other Washington.

1. He's got my vote.

Jay Inslee/Denny Heck. That's quite an admirable gubernatorial team for our state.

2. Heck is quite good. Every time I see him on the cable shows he makes excellent points.

Kind of sorry to see him leave the House. This seems to be a lateral move though, if that. The governorship was obviously out and I take it the two Washington Senate seats are as well?

3. He reminds me of Tom Foley

He has my vote.

Sorry to see him leave the House, but a great person for Lt Gov. He has our votes!
