Apple for everyman
What we need in the state Legislature now are leaders who have wide-ranging experience developed over many years from working hard on behalf of, and listening to, their constituents. Of the three Democrats running, Bob Apple alone embodies the spirit and the challenges of those in the 3rd Legislative District.
As a small-business owner who has resided in the district for over 30 years and served three terms on the Spokane City Council, Bob has not only lived the same life as many in the 3rd, he has demonstrated a dedicated commitment to a variety of relevant issues.
Living in the 3rd Legislative District is not easy for a lot of people who struggle to keep a roof over their heads. Looking forward, we can expect less help from the federal government; the cavalry is not going to be coming over the ridge to help us. To better understand Bob’s unique perspective, go to the League of Women Voters website and watch the candidate forum.
Bob is a representative for everyman, not just those who agree with him. Join me in sending Bob Apple to Olympia as a true representative of all the people.
