Volz most qualified

In this monumental election year, the tired campaign sloganeering from both Republican and Democrat establishment politicians is being unquestionably challenged by the likes of Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders.

This is also a year for possible changes in our own statewide “establishment” politics. That is why I am writing to endorse and seek support for Mike Volz, running for 6th Legislative District representative.

Mike’s professional and life experiences make him the most qualified candidate hands down, Republican or Democrat, for this position. Mike is an Army vet with a long history in Spokane County where he has worked both private and public sector jobs focused on our local economy. A devoted husband and father, Mike knows Spokane County public schools through his wife, a teacher of 27 years, and his children, all products of public schools in Spokane County.

A quick glance at the competitors will reveal the dearth of their experiences and qualifications when compared to Mike Volz. We need to send people to Olympia with experience, not to gain experience. This is the year to make a change in our state governance. Say no to the establishment. Vote Mike Volz.
