Talking Oktoberfest Legal Battles and Sheriff Burnett's Absence at Fiestas Mexicanas on La Pera Radio

Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett, president of the Washington State Sheriffs' Association. He’s also on a list of elected officials who embrace an extremist “Patriot” agenda, according to the Southern Poverty Law Center.

In the latest episode of our Community Issues podcast, Rafael Aguilar and I talk about the legal battle over the phrase “Leavenworth Oktoberfest” as well as Chelan County Sheriff Brian Burnett’s interesting campaign strategy.

I wrote about both subjects recently, but in this supporting-subscribers post, I wanted to include a conversation between Sheriff Burnett’s campaign manager Drew Zabrocki and a Chelan County voter regarding the campaign’s official absence from Fiestas Mexicanas. I reference and quote the conversation briefly in this episode, but you can the whole thing below. I’ve redacted the source’s name at their request.

Zabrocki is communicating via Burnett’s official campaign Facebook page.
