| | Dino Rossi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Rossi is a self-proclaimed moderate Republican from Sammamish, Washington. | | | Rossi lost the disputed election trial on May 25, 2005 and he chose not to appeal to the state Supreme Court because "the current makeup of the supreme court...made the ruling nearly impossible to be overturned". | | | In 1992, Rossi ran for a Washington State Senate seat. |

| | Dino Rossi on Wednesday said he will not run for the U.S. Senate, citing his desire to have an impact on the political culture of Washington state and the impact that serving in the other Washington would have on his young family. | | | It's been widely speculated that if Rossi loses his bid for a new governor's election in November, he would be the front-running Republican to challenge U.S. Sen. Maria Cantwell, a Democrat, in the 2006 election. | | | Rossi, a Sammamish real estate investor, narrowly lost the race for governor last year to Christine Gregoire by 129 votes after a third recount of ballots. |

| | Rossi is a little known state senator from Sammamish who served less than two terms, much of that as a member of a minority party. | | | Gregoire spokesperson Morton Brilliant says, "Dino Rossi has one big problem: His record is out of step with Washington's values." The Gregoire campaign cites, as evidence of his conservatism, Rossi's opposition to abortion and his votes to suspend education initiatives that lowered class size and gave annual raises to teachers. | | | Gregoire is racing to define Rossi as a candidate so conservative that he is far to the right of the vast majority of Washington's voters. |
