Group that taught people to evade vaccine mandate is raising cash for Troyer's legal fees
Feb. 10—A crowd-funding campaign is raising money to pay for Sheriff Ed Troyer's legal defense against misdemeanor criminal charges connected to his confrontation with a Black newspaper carrier last year.
The Gig Harbor organization responsible for the campaign, One Washington, held workshops last summer to teach people how to file for religious exemptions to the state's COVID-19 vaccine mandate. Troyer said he was unaware of One Washington's other efforts when he agreed to the campaign.
One Washington is listed as a nonprofit through the state's business registry. It has ties to a Gig Harbor church. The listed location for the nonprofit is the same address as Harborview Fellowship Church. The Christian non-denominational church's website has a One Washington tab.
Troyer said the organization approached him months ago about a donation page, and he said yes but has not heard anything else.
