Letter to the Editor: Endorsement letter for Sen. Chase

To the Editor:

I am voting for Maralyn Chase for 32nd LD Senator because she consistently supports issues of concern to me. These include strong support for women's reproductive rights, public education, small businesses (e.g., low cost loans and tax credits), retraining programs for workers who need skills upgrades, protection of the environment, safer gun laws, consistent long term support of labor unions, which are the bulwark of the Middle class plus voting affirmatively for many other measures that benefit those who are adversely affected by current governmental policies.

Sen. Chase is now a member of the Water, Agriculture and Trade Development Committee, a critical legislative committee at this particular time of trade wars that hurt all of us. Her role on this committee is crucial because of the need to address and remedy pollution to Washington State's fresh and salt waters. Both water issues and trade affect this state's agricultural production, marine industries and distribution of the foods we eat.

A host of organizations and notable individuals (e.g., WA State Atty. Gen.) support Sen. Maralyn Chase, which is a testimony to her concern about and support of the issues that directly affect us in the 32nd LD. Sen Chase has a verifiable and proven record. Over her time in office facing a hostile oppositional legislative environment she has pursued and voted for programs and policies that benefit all of us. We cannot afford at this time to vote for candidates who lack a proven voting record at the state level on all these issues.

By voting for Senator Maralyn Chase my vote and that of others will optimize solutions to the increasingly complex problems facing this state.
