44th LD, House Pos. 1: Lovick has shown he can lead

I’d like to say, “Well done!” to Wendy Poischbeg for her letter in the recent City of Snohomish quarterly magazine that recognized the need for conversations about racial equity. We can open our hearts and minds and speak out against hate, racism and bigotry. It is immensely important if we want a better future for our town and for the entire nation.

Let’s have the courage to act on what needs to be done to become a truly open and welcoming community. To accomplish this we require the leadership of someone with real empathy who intimately knows what the issues are and has already shown that he can effect positive change. That person is John Lovick. We need to re-elect him as our 44th Legislative District representative because of his long and distinguished record of compassionate service. Vote for John Lovick so he can continue to devote his time, energy and talents to protecting and defending the people he serves.
