In the race for state representative for our 40th District, there is a clear choice for voters. Rud Browne offers what we need for our state and region to keep moving forward. His success in business, environmental and technology fields, as well as his deep commitment to humanitarian causes, will serve our communities well. He has an established track record in public service, including his current position as chair of the Whatcom County Council. He serves on a number of boards, including Board of Health and Whatcom County Homeless Strategies. I have personally met with Rud on a number of occasions and am excited to be able to endorse such a strong candidate. Please vote Rud Browne this Tuesday, Aug. 7.
