Letter: Support Reichert for governor

By R. Jay Press, Olympia
Published: August 10, 2024, 6:00am

I am avoiding the mistake of voting the party line.

Here is a previous tidbit from the Seattle Times titled “Why is Rep. Dave Reichert leaving Congress? Trump is one possibility:” “Reichert has big differences with President Donald Trump on issues like health care and immigration. He has opposed the Trump administration on the Dreamers immigration controversy. He also voted against the repeal of Obamacare — a long-standing Republican goal in the House …”

Reichert, a seven-term member of Congress, helped expand the Alpine Lakes Wilderness Area, improved our foster care system, combated sex trafficking and secured equipment and resources for first responders.

He would accomplish what we need as the state’s governor, in spite of that pesky “(R)” printed on the ballot.
