Vehrs focuses on issues

Thu., Oct. 13, 2016

I am writing to support Lynnette Vehrs’ run for office to be our 6th District representative. I am a CRNA (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist) and have worked with Lynnette for many years on our jointly held concerns about health care for the citizens of Washington.

I have found Lynnette to be extremely open-minded and issue-focused, which, for an independent voter like me, is important. I have seen her change her position based upon new information, which in my mind is all we can ask of our elected leaders.

Knowing her for as long as I have, I truly believe that she will do her best to continue to focus on issues instead of political parties and that is why I am voting for her for 6th District representative.
