Your independent hometown award-winning newspaper
Calling all patriots, the polls have opened, the mail in ballots are already delivered and it’s down to the wire, crunch time!
My last letter established the basic criteria for selecting your representatives and now I’ll mention some tools for research:
1) Google each candidate and their statements.
2) go to Ballotpedia.org, for in depth coverage of each candidate and their responses.
3) go to Washington State Public Disclosure Commission, http://www.pdc.wa.gov, to which every candidate must be accountable and disclose their actual financial receipts and expenditures! Then you can determine if they use their money and your donations wisely, in accordance with your values and interests.
I did that and believe me, it was an eye opener!
My candidate for Washington House Representative, District 10, Position 1, is also the only patriot whose campaign signs, flyers, cards, display her signature patriotism in vivid Red White and Blue, America’s colors! That’s my gal, Carrie Kennedy!
No wish washy blue signs, no pale pinks and no canary yellow (who does that represent, the Canary Islands?!) All joking aside, be brave, be proud, be an American!
I have known Carrie and her husband Lloyd Potter for over 30 years and she’s always been a true patriot, the wife of a career military veteran and a student of American history and our Constitution.
I heartily endorse Carrie Kennedy as a person of integrity and honesty, with the constitutional knowledge to faithfully serve her constituents honorably.
Do your homework patriots!
Respectfully submitted,
Patti Ruple
Oak Harbor
