Congress, 2nd District: Larsen a leader on many issues

I am proud to endorse Rick Larsen for re-election to the Second Congressional District. As a dedicated public servant, Rick has consistently demonstrated his commitment to our community in education, veterans’ support, healthcare, drug policy and other areas.

In education, Rick has been a steadfast advocate for increased funding and resources for our students, ensuring that every child has access to a quality education, and advocated for expanded pathways to good jobs through STEM-based apprenticeships.

For our veterans, Rick understands the sacrifices they have made and has worked to ensure they receive the benefits and support they deserve. His initiatives to improve access to health care and job skills training for veterans are critical components of honoring their service.

When it comes to health care, Rick is a champion for affordable and accessible care. He knows that every individual deserves the right to quality health care, and he has fought to expand coverage and reduce costs for families.

Lastly, Rick’s policy recommendations on drug issues focus on treatment over punishment. He advocates for policies that address addiction as a public health issue, ensuring that those in need receive the support and resources to heal.

Rick Larsen is a leader we can trust to continue fighting for the issues that matter most to our families and community. I wholeheartedly support his re-election and urge you to do the same.
