So many reasons to vote for Selling

I could give you more than 50 reasons to vote for Joel Selling for representative in the 39th District, Position 2, but I need to contain myself to the top10:

1. Joel is as hard working as they come. If you haven’t met him yet, you probably will. He is doorbelling full time to hear what you need from Olympia.

2. Joel is dedicated. He will work relentlessly to make sure no child is left behind in our schools.

3. Joel will do what he says he will do, and you can count on him to do it well.

4. Joel knows business inside and out – as a small business owner, a marketing consultant for 30 years, and with an MBA degree.

5. Joel wants all people who can work to have the chance to earn a gainful wage.

6. Joel sees education as a life-long need and will infuse our technical and community colleges with the resources to train highly skilled workers.

7. Joel is a passionate parent who believes that all children have the right to have their basic needs met.

8. Joel is committed to making sure that every person in Washington has basic health care, including the poor and the elderly.

9. Joel wants your taxes spent wisely, without waste, and wants to change our regressive tax system so that those with the least resources are not unfairly burdened.

10.Joel is a person with the highest integrity.
