Pakootas for Congress

Please check your mail and note the race for the 5th Congressional District representative is officially on. We registered voters have the opportunity to support and vote for Joe Pakootas. Pakootas is an Eastern Washington business owner and has the environmental and political experience to be our representative.

Pakootas is the chief executive officer who is credited with a $10 million economic turnaround for the Colville Confederated Tribes.

In 2013, the University of Washington awarded Pakootas with the Bradford Award as the top minority business in our Evergreen State.

Pakootas will do more than pose, as does our current non-representative. He will strengthen our regional employment as he has so aptly demonstrated for the Colvilles. He understands the problems of those of you in agribusinesses, and will strive to help all farming interests.

Pakootas will fight to keep Head Start and will advocate for children of all ages. Further, he knows the importance of the business sector. Pakootas is a person of action and not simply a poser.

Vote for Joe Pakootas for Congress.
