Riccelli a standout choice

Voters in the 3rd Legislative District have a number of choices for state representative. Marcus Riccelli, however, is the clear standout choice. He was born and raised in Spokane, and is the father of a preschooler. He understands the challenges facing families and the middle class. He has experience in Olympia and knows his way around the Capitol. Marcus will hit the ground running. As the son of a teacher, he recognizes the need to promote education. He will never turn his back on seniors, children and victims of crime.

What sets Marcus apart from his competition is his unique ability to listen and to understand. He has the temperament and the skills to build coalitions that will help bring jobs and economic development to Eastern Washington. He knows how to work with people of all political persuasions. Marcus will build bridges, not walls.

We need someone like Marcus Riccelli advocating for us in Olympia.
