Support for Clay

During this campaign season, I gained great respect and admiration for the people running for public office in my home of Stevens County. One person I found to be particularly genuine and passionate about his cause is Michael Clay, who is running for District Court judge.

Clay has extensive experience in many facets of law that is clearly communicated on his website. More importantly, I truly believe that Clay has very deeply held ecumenical conservative values that I believe will help him fairly apply the law in Stevens County.

It is infinitely more difficult to get a sense of a person’s character by just reading articles in a newspaper or listening to others articulate their impressions of them. His trust-but-verify attitude when it comes to the safety of our community reminds me of the first president I voted for and the last executive leader I had complete confidence in, Ronald Reagan.

I admire Clay for his tireless dedication to making justice become a reality for the citizens of Stevens County and offer my enthusiastic and heartfelt support to Michael Clay for District Court judge.
