One true conservative

There is only one conservative running for 6th District representative, and that is John Ahern. He is both fiscally and morally conservative, with the backbone to stand up for private property rights, lower taxes, small business and crime victims.

After eight years in the state House, he has the experience to hit the ground running in the upcoming battle with the tax-and-spend crowd in the House, and will help turn the tide back to fiscal accountability. As a small-business owner he knows firsthand the damage our out-of-control Legislature causes Washington business and is determined to restore their ability to do what they do best – create jobs.

He has a bold vision to establish priorities in our government to restructure the business and occupation tax, helping small businesses survive startup, lowering property taxes while toughening laws on child molesters, and protecting seniors and veterans. These timely goals can be accomplished with the true leadership that John displays. Vote Ahern.

“If ever a time should come, when vain and aspiring men shall possess the highest seats in Government, our country will stand in need of its experienced patriots to prevent its ruin.” – Samuel Adams
