Opponent should follow Rep. Lovick’s example as leader

The recent smear campaign by the opponent of Rep. John Lovick says so much more about him than it does about Lovick. The fact that no charges were leveled against Rep. Lovick, the fact that Rep. Lovick served as Snohomish County sheriff eleven years later, the fact that his children both came forth in his support and said he is innocent of any wrongdoing all make me wonder why we would want a bully in our state House who ignores facts in order to win an election.

Rather than attack Rep. Lovick, he should be following his lead by speaking to and listening to the people he would like to represent. Were he to do that, he would understand that his first job is to serve the people he hopes to represent, something that Rep. John Lovick has been doing for decades.
