Vehrs the right choice

Lynnette Vehrs is the right person for the 6th District. Her experience in education, teaching, nursing, leadership on boards and councils, and experience as a volunteer serving others is more than impressive.

I had the experience of working with Mike Volz at STA. My impression was he was disdainful of our public and an ideologue who will do little in the way of collaborative problem solving. Those aren’t the qualities we need in Olympia.

On the other hand, Lynnette is a tireless worker; she shows up and gets the job done. She is thoughtful and articulate about the challenges we need addressed. Having been involved in state-wide issues, Lynnette already has working relationships with many legislators. Let’s get it right this time. Elect Lynnette Vehrs to represent the 6th District.
