10th LD, Pos. 2: Paul works for those in his district

Published 1:30 am Monday, October 17, 2022

Please don’t be fooled by the recent hit piece mailer on Rep. Dave Paul, D-Oak Harbor, 10th Legislative District, Pos. 2. It’s full of lies.

Lie: Crime is increasing in the state. False. Most crime has decreased significantly here. Certain types of crime increased during the pandemic: domestic violence and robberies, but overall crime has decreased.

Lie: Paul is anti-police. False. Dave Paul co-sponsored HB 1785 to ensure State Troopers receive a competitive wage. Dave secured state funding to upgrade Skagit’s 911 emergency communications system, improving the safety of law enforcement officials and the public. Dave is endorsed by Oak Harbor Police Chief Kevin Dresker, Skagit County Sheriff Don McDermott, the State Troopers Association, the State Fraternal Order of the Police, and the State Council of Firefighters, as well as the Firefighters Local 66.

Dave Paul works for everyday people, small businesses, children and students. He’s lowering health care costs for seniors and working families. He proposed a sales tax holiday during the pandemic and reformed B&O tax to provide tax relief for small businesses. He has a proven track record of supporting and passing bills that actually help people in our district. I’m voting for Dave Paul for state representative.
