Cares for young people

If you’re a mom you want to vote for Irene Endicott in the 44th Legislative District. I am a mom of five children who for the first time has gotten involved with a political campaign because of the personal contact Irene has given to me and my children. She loves kids. Irene is a mother of four children, stepmother of three children and grandmother of twelve, as she would say, “perfect grandchildren.”

I have the privilege of meeting this outstanding woman about three years ago because of her interest in, and friendship to my daughter, who three years ago was the youth governor for the state of Washington. I’ve since watched Irene pop in at daughter’s place of employment to see how she was doing. I’ve also run into Irene at Albertson’s Grocery store and had her not only stop and converse with me but observed her spend time with the young adults who work there as if they were her own grandchildren.

We need a mother in Olympia who understands the issues and who has the ability to communicate as well as listen – one who will support but not intrude upon families. I’ve never met a person like Irene Endicott who has that rare gift of getting things done while staying connected and concerned about people from our youngest citizens to our oldest. If you give her your vote, I know she won’t disappoint you.
