10th LD, House, Position 1: McMullen is a great listener

Regarding the race for 10th Legisilative District, House Pos. 1, going back to Scott McMullen’s times on the Mount Vernon City Council, he has always been a great listener who always goes out of his way to be inclusive and makes sure that everyone feels that their input is valuable. McMullen has served our country and our community honorably. I think that especially now is an extremely important time we elect someone that has governed. McMullen was a councilmember during our last recession. McMullen is a veteran and a firefighter/Emergency Medical Technician and has volunteered for various events in the community. Please join me in voting for McMullen, a proven leader.
