GIG HARBOR — Doug Cloud, one of seven candidates for the 6th District House seat in Congress, has picked up some endorsements.

Cloud was endorsed by state Rep. Matt Shea, R-Spokane Valley;  Clint Didier, former NFL tight end and candidate for commissioner of public lands; and the Republican Liberty Caucus.

Cloud is a Tacoma trial lawyer and former Kitsap County deputy prosecutor. He is one of seven candidates for the 6th District House seat.

Cloud’s website describes him as “a strong proponent of constitutional government. Doug Cloud recognizes free markets and property rights as essential for freedom and prosperity. Doug Cloud firmly opposes bailouts and stimulus spending.”

“I have a lot of respect for Doug,” Didier said in a press release. “Doug doesn’t give up and we need someone like that in Congress. I don’t want my kid’s dreams shattered by the national debt or a weak economy and I know Doug will fight to keep that from happening.”
