Richard Semler’s OSPI Campaign Website: A Review

Richard Semler, the retiring superintendent of the Richland School District, and the leading challenger to OSPI Superintendent Terry Bergeson, now has an active campaign website.

Semler’s website is at richsemler.com. The site is still under construction, as several important campaign sections of the site say "Coming Soon!" including links for his blog, his endorsements (I was very curious to see if he has any yet), and his "Top Ten Reasons to Support Rich." You would think that some basic information pages like this last one would have at least SOME content!

The pages asking for money and campaign volunteers seem to work, though I did not try to donate money or sign up to work.

The "Contact" page works, and lists ways to contact the campaign via snail mail or email. This information is:

Campaign to Elect Rich Semler

PO Box 1208

Richland, WA 99352

Contact the Campaign Managers

Raúl de la Rosa 360-951-0914

Juanita Doyon 253-973-1593

Overall, the site looks professional, but it really should have been made fully functional before launch. We will evaluate Bergeson’s site next.

One Response to Richard Semler’s OSPI Campaign Website: A Review

  1. (Yawn) Semler is just another one-issue (e.g. anti-WASL) candidate. In other words, he’s probably being groomed by our corporate masters to pose as Bergeson’s main opponent.

    As usual, I’ll probably be the only candidate focusing on the #1 issue facing education: Corporatization.

    Check my campaign website at http://2008.seattle-mafia.org/ on June 1, 2008. I have many surprises in store, including three very big ones.

    As Bill Gates, Sr. once told me, “It just goes to show, you can never be too careful.”
