Remembering Wes Anderson

This was a series of brief House remarks by Representative Michael Baumgartner honoring people and institutions from eastern Washington, none of them a bill. The main remarks remembered Wes Anderson of Spokane, a Vietnam veteran known as ‘Doc’ who spent over 50 years helping fellow veterans in the community. Baumgartner also recognized the Eastern Washington University football team ahead of its 2026 season and honored Spokane businessman and philanthropist Tim Merck, who built the Old World Christmas ornament company and donated a leprechaun statue to the University of Notre Dame.Written by AI from the debate.
