The upcoming election for county executive will be the first chance we’ve had in a long time to re-examine our children’s future and set the course for tomorrow. And as a former schoolteacher, I’m always thinking about how we can foster a community that will allow our children to succeed us as our next generation of leaders.
Sen. Aaron Reardon is the leader who today can pave the way for a better tomorrow. As a concerned citizen and a volunteer for the Washington State School Retirees’ Association, I frequently meet with legislators to talk with them about the importance of funding to reduce class size, improving student achievement, attracting and retaining high quality teachers and ensuring that we do not turn our backs on former educators.
Sen. Reardon has always been willing to take the time out of his day to listen to me when I’ve visited him in Olympia or bumped into him at the local store. His ability to listen, as well as lead, has made it clear to me that Sen. Reardon is prepared to serve as the executive who will first and foremost keep the interests of our community’s future in mind.
Sen. Reardon is the candidate with a proven record of accomplishments and commitment to his constituents. That’s why I’ll be voting to elect Sen. Reardon as Snohomish County’s next executive on Nov. 4. I hope that you’ll join me by doing the same.
