39th LD, House, Pos. 1: Low should replace Sutherland

Published 1:30 am Thursday, July 28, 2022

I urge voters to carefully consider the candidate best suited to represent them if the House seat now occupied by Rep. Robert Sutherland, R-Granite Falls, is to remain Republican.

Sutherland is on the ultra-right end of the MAGA spectrum. He has advised his Faeebook followers to “prepare for war.” He has shown up armed at a public protest. His only endorsements listed in the voters guide are the Skagit and Snohomish County Republican parties. He has been rebuked by the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs for his violent pronouncements. He is a lone maverick with little legislative accomplishment.

Sam Low was born and raised in Everett. He is a model citizen and an effective public servant who has worked well with members of both parties on the Snohomish County Council for six years. Low is endorsed by most Snohomish County mayors, the Deputy Sheriff’s Association, Firefighter Locals 2781 and 2597, as well as solid citizens like Dan Kristiansen and John Koster. He is endorsed by The Everett Herald.

It is time for the voters of the 39th to declare “you are fired” to Sutherland.

Sam Low will be a strong representative or all reality-informed citizens of Snohomish County.
