Dedicated Knue will work tirelessly

As a recent graduate of Mount Vernon High School, I had the privilege of being taught by one of the best teachers I have encountered in my education, which has now brought me to Cornell University. That man was Tim Knue. I now have the pleasure of supporting him in his bid for the state House of Representatives.

I believe that Tim will be a very effective legislator and representative of the 10th District. In his 30 years as an educator, Tim has demonstrated the ability to listen to the concerns of students and families from diverse backgrounds and come up with creative, workable solutions. Similarly, he will consider all opinions and options while striving to address the issues facing our district and state. Tim is incredibly hard-working and devoted to his work, as evidenced by the many hours he spends outside of the classroom helping students such as myself to succeed. He will take this dedication with him to Olympia to tirelessly represent his constituents. Lastly, Tim Knue is a person of great character, compassion and sincerity who will bring a fresh voice to the state Legislature. Please join me in voting for him.
