The intentions of a national Democratic convention, this week

Ross Reynolds reviews the week's new with Washington state senator Mona Das, Q13 political analyst CR Douglas, and former chair of the state GOP, Chris Vance.

The Democratic National Convention is over, and Joe Biden is officially the presidential nominee. The panelists share their thoughts on the convention, and the upcoming November election.

Plus, there aren't just national elections to look forward to. How has the partisan national political scene affected local elections in Washington State? Who cleared the primary and what do we need to know about state and local races in the general election?

Also, the Seattle City Council is facing a lot of push back right now. They're being blamed for the resignation of police chief Carmen Best, there's a move to recall Councilors Kshama Sawant and Lisa Herbold, and Mayor Durkan and the council are at an impasse over the budget, taxes and police policy. How can they get it together?

President Trump says the U.S. Postal Service is going to facilitate fraud by enabling voting by mail. We've been voting by mail in Washington State for a decade. Should we be concerned?

And we'll be remembering the life and time of former U.S. Senator and state Attorney General Slade Gorton. He passed away this week at 92, a symbol of the bygone era of political compromise.
