Billig ready for Olympia

Sun., May 16, 2010

The Spokesman-Review

Congratulations, 3rd Legislative District. Andy Billig has been selected as the Democratic Party nominee for state representative.

Andy brings a broad array of skills and experience to the position and will make a great representative. He has the business experience, the progressive values that will serve us, all well and an unwavering commitment to education, our river and aquifer, and job creation.

With the state budget in such dire straits, the 3rd Legislative District needs a strong representative who will fight for our fair share. In my opinion, Andy has the negotiating skills as well as the sharp elbows to get the job done.
