Have you heard the phrase ‘no good deed goes unpunished’?
Bob and his legal team recently delivered Tim Eyman his day of reckoning. The state caught Eyman concealing hundreds of thousands of dollars in campaign contributions that ended up in his personal bank account — again.
A respected Thurston County Superior Court judge had the following to say:
- Eyman’s illegal conduct was “part of a pattern of violations, which resulted from a knowing and intentional effort to conceal, deceive, mislead and engage in collusive behavior.”
- “In the history of the Fair Campaign Practices Act enforcement, it would be difficult for the court to conceive of a case with misconduct that is more egregious or more extensive than the misconduct committed by defendant Eyman in this matter.”
Pretty appalling, right? Well, Bob and his legal team scored a major victory for justice and transparency. The court ordered Eyman to pay $5.5 million that he cannot discharge in bankruptcy. He’ll be paying for decades to reimburse taxpayers. Additionally, the court issued an injunction that blocks Eyman from directing the finances of any initiative campaign.
Eyman’s supporters responded by attacking Bob personally.
Conservative talk radio host Dori Monson, recently suspended by KIRO for his bigoted commentary, brought Tim Eyman on his show within minutes of Bob’s sweeping court victory. Monson screamed into the microphone that Bob was “the most dangerous politician he’s ever covered” for taking on Eyman. Monson puts conservative interests above the rule of law — and doesn’t seem to care about the potential implications of his vitriolic rhetoric.

Bob doesn’t accept contributions from large corporations — instead, he relies on grassroots supporters like you to keep him fighting for Washingtonians. He’s the People’s Attorney. He can’t be intimidated by ranting conservative talk radio hosts. But we need to have his back.
Bob just came out of a fundraising freeze, and he has a lot of ground to make up. We need your help to show the strength of our movement: https://go.bobferguson.com/a/april-2021
Thank you,
