Volz more experienced

Wed., Nov. 2, 2016

As in the primary, the choice for 6th District representative couldn’t be clearer. Mike Volz has far more substantive experience in managing large organizations, working with the complexities of governmental budgets and understanding just what makes the economy successful. Mike will also be the only CPA in either house, a skill set sorely needed in Olympia.

Mike’s opponent has spent an honorable lifetime in the nursing profession and should continue to do so. Her expertise is certainly admirable but limited, and she ought to stay where her experiences and skills are most suited. This is especially true with the looming shortage of health care professionals.
