...After graduating from UW in 1972, Bundy joined Governor Daniel J. Evans's re-election campaign. Posing as a college student, he shadowed Evans' opponent, former governor Albert Rosellini, and recorded his stump speeches for analysis by Evans's team. Evans later appointed Bundy to the Seattle Crime Prevention Advisory Committee, an occupation he later used to bolster his position as a 'law and order' candidate..." - Wikipedia

I'm a firm believer in the virtue of self-sufficiency. I don't believe our citizens are lax, or lazy, or indifferent. In Washington we have a strong voluntary programs, we don't need legislative incentives." - Bundy during stump speech, 1976

...contrary to his charismatic public persona, Ted governed in a cold, analytical manner. This was spun by pundits as ruthlessly efficient conservatism, a state government that would trim the fat and ignore flagrant appeals to emotion, politics without the human element. Admittedly, this was a half-truth. He applied policy as a Reaganite conservative, sure, but truthfully, Ted loved things more than he loved people. He could find life in infrastructure or the environment, and feel a kind of compassion for these things, more compassion than he could ever feel for another human being. In an average man, this would be reprehensible. In the governors office, it was just politics..." - Ann Rule, 'Stranger In the White House: the Ted Bundy I knew'

"...
Bundy resigning the governorship to be appointed to fill Jackson's seat was more than just a power-play to raise his national profile - it saddled Fletcher with all the blame for the subsequent recession. Not only did he escape a problem that would've surely cost him re-election, he was now given free roam of the nation's capitol..." - Ann Rule, 'Stranger In the White House: the Ted Bundy I knew'

Now we don't know what exactly what the people in that room were thinking, but it's safe to assume that at least one person wondered why, in the midst of the most fateful day in American history, was Ted Bundy grinning from ear to ear?" - narrator, "Ted" (2019) (Dir. Adam McKay)

"...the man who took the stand that day was not the President Ted Bundy voters had reelected in the new millennium. His signature perm, kept trimmed and coifed, was now a dirty grey, ironically closer to a judges wig. His boyish good looks were marred by the forehead wrinkles and under-eye shadows of a long-suffering files clerk. He was clammy, fidgety, lecherous and his beady little eyes swept from one side of the room to the other, like a submarine's radar scanning for enemy mines..."
