Washington 9th Legislative District state representative candidate Susan Fagan earlier this year picked up the endorsement of the Washington GOP's likely gubernatorial candidate in 2012, Attorney General Rob McKenna.  Now, she has received the endorsement of the 2004 and 2008 candidate, Dino Rossi.  Fagan served as Rossi's Whitman County campiagn chair last year.

In a press release issued yesterday, Rossi stated:

Susan understands that we need to change the way Olympia operates so our tax dollars are spent on the people’s priorities. With her broad experience I know she’ll be an effective legislator

Given Rossi's immense popularity in Eastern Washington, his endorsement should carry a lot of weight with 9th District voters.
