Lawmakers back Padden
I support Mike Padden for the 4th District Senate seat. Experience, a creditable history in the Legislature as a conservative, principled fighter for the 4th District, and the strong endorsements of Rep. Larry Crouse and Sen. Bob McCaslin, make him the best person to fill this Senate seat.
Mike’s proven record of not voting to raise taxes has never been questioned. He sees no “loophole” that would make it possible to take more money out of our pockets. There is no fancy explanation like matching new taxes with spending cuts in his agenda. That thinking still takes more money from everyone, especially struggling families, and gives it to government to spend. Mike will stand up for us and the families of our district.
He helped write legislation and now having served 12 years as a judge has brought the law and the street together. That kind of experience is invaluable and unique, especially in understanding how legislation could affect citizens in their daily lives.
Five legislators, past and present, who have worked in this district, know this district, and value the people that have elected them time after time, have endorsed Mike.
Join us in supporting Mike Padden for state Senate.
