Seniors well-served
Chris Marr has proved to be a champion for seniors and their providers in the Washington state Legislature, and I believe we should return him to Olympia.
As the longtime administrator of a nursing home in Spokane, I have closely watched the Legislature’s work on this complex and vitally important policy area. Chris Marr’s demonstrated commitment to understanding and appropriately representing his constituents on issues impacting seniors is impressive.
Whether it is our parents, grandparents or ourselves, we will ultimately all be touched by the need for quality care. Chris Marr is serious about ensuring that seniors have access to these services, and will well represent the citizens of Spokane on issues regarding long-term care.
