I’m a mother of two young adult sons, retired Navy, active community member and volunteer. I’m writing to share why I’m voting for Nick Brown for state attorney general this election.
Nick was raised in Steilacoom and has a long career of public and government service that started in college as an ROTC scholarship student, an Army defense attorney, federal prosecutor, general counsel to the governor and U.S. Attorney for Western Washington. The latter an appointment by the President of the United States.
I’m voting for Nick because he’s the only candidate for attorney general who has the experience and leadership to successfully advocate for all Washingtonians and protect our rights and liberties, this includes our rights to privacy and reproductive health services.
His opponent Pete Serrano’s public service experience is as city council member of Pasco and current mayor of Pasco, appointed by fellow city council members.
I’m also voting for Nick because he believes there should be appropriate consequences and punishment for committing crimes, but he also believes that attempting to get to the source of why some people commit crimes, such as mental illnesses and substance abuse/addiction, and providing treatment is important as well. Nick knows, as we do, that families and communities are affected on both sides when crime and punishment occur.
Nick will focus on the people of Washington and protecting us, and not just punishment. His record shows this. That’s the kind of attorney general all Washingtonians deserve.
