Hailey prepared for Olympia

The Spokesman-Review

Please cast your ballot for Pat Hailey in the upcoming ballot election in the 9th Legislative District. I’ve known Pat Hailey for many years, and I think highly of her qualifications and strongly believe that she is the best candidate to represent us in Olympia.

Pat’s years as a parent, volunteer, PTA president, registrar and attendance specialist at Connell High School and Robert L. Olds Junior High, and school board member in the North Franklin School District, have given her a tremendous background and working knowledge about public education. She knows firsthand how unfunded mandates and cuts in state funding hurt students in our local schools.

Her experience and knowledge will be a terrific asset as she works in Olympia. I’m confident that Pat Hailey will use her experience with public education and work to support students and schools as a legislator in Olympia. Please show your support and vote yes for Pat Hailey.
