Conard’s thinking gets voter’s nod

In an election where emotions are running high, I’m upset at the amount of money spent on attack campaigns. I’m making my choices based on performance.

I’m voting for Nancy Conard in the 10th District. I’ve known Nancy and worked with her since she became mayor of Coupeville. Thanks to Nancy’s ideas and hard work, our parks and recreation commission has gotten renewed life, funds have been found to help us improve our public areas, and seasonal events she’s planned have brought the people together to celebrate life here. Her 30 years as business manager of the Coupeville School District bring the kind of clear thinking we need in Olympia, and her ability to bring people to agreement across party lines will make her an outstanding representative.

I urge you to go to Nancy’s Web site and find out for yourselves why I’m voting for her.
