Apple’s claim shameful

The Spokesman-Review

I am a longtime 3rd Legislative District resident and I can tell you that I will not be supporting Bob Apple. Bob Apple should be ashamed of trying to label John Ahern as a liar. John Ahern is one of the best legislators that Eastern Washington has ever had.

John Ahern has proven he can get results; he has been one of the only Republican legislators that have been able to pass legislation that benefits Eastern Washington. John passed Washington’s first felony DUI bill that continues to protect drivers on the road and save lives.

John also passed a bill that secured funding for the veterans center at St. Luke’s. Even though I cannot vote for John Ahern, I know he is the person Eastern Washington needs in Olympia. Unlike Bob Apple, I am proud to endorse John Ahern for state representative.
