I’m writing in support of re-electing Kevin Van De-Wege, state senator, district 24; Mike Chapman, state representative, district 24, position 1; and Steve Tharinger, state representative, district 24, position 2.
These incumbents have a track record of working across the aisle in a bipartisan way to solve a myriad of issues that have not only positively impacted our district but the state as well.
All three hold important chair positions within the Legislature and have a long history of service to our area.
Mike Chapman and Steve Tharinger have both served several years as Clallam County commissioners.
I have lived in Sequim for 43 years and been able to observe the actions and character of each of these candidates.
They all are fiscally conservative, competent, have a high level of integrity and honestly and, most importantly. have worked hard for all of us in making the Olympic Peninsula a wonderful place to live and do business.
I am proud to endorse all three of these candidates.
They deserve your vote.
