By Bryan Bissell, PolitickerWA.com Reporter

The voters of the 3rd Congressional District, where incumbent Rep. Brian Baird (D-Vancouver) has drawn three challengers heading into next week's "top two" primary, will have their chance to vote a mixture of political ideology and war on both sides of the aisle.

- Gov. Christine Gregoire (D) and Attorney General Rob McKenna (R) in a joint statement Wednesday on an anti-religion billboard on display at the state Capitol.
