    Ross Hunter and Laura Ruderman are ex-Microsoft. Toby Nixon's bio says he still works at Microsoft, but how can he do that and be a state rep? It's a full-time part-time job! Rodney Tom is a realtor. But, they all represent the Eastside, which is the real reason why they co-sponsored: many Microsoft employees are their constituents.
