Please allow me to tell you about one of the candidates running for lieutenant governor of Washington State.

Marty McClendon was raised on a farm in Eastern Washington. He is a humble, kind and considerate family man. He and his wife have four children.

I have listened to some of his rallies on line. These are available for you to view. You will hear how he speaks and treats people. He is not in an ivory tower. He wants to work for both sides of the state — not just King County.

Some politicians forget their roots and vote for big cities, not the common man in fishing, farming and industries in less populated areas. This will not happen when we elect Marty. He is honest, trustworthy and cares about all peoples. He will fight against state income taxes and unnecessary regulations on businesses.
