Tom Dent would serve the 13th District with honor and high standards

This is intended as an unqualified endorsement of Tom Dent as a candidate for the Washington State Legislature for the 13th District, Position #1.

I've known Tom for many years and have had the opportunity to fly with him when I was a candidate for federal office a few years ago. I know him to be a man of integrity, good character and honesty, and one who would serve the 13th District with honor and high standards. His business background, family commitment and principled views all qualify him as a person whom the voters should elect. As an expert in aerial application and a bona fide rancher, Tom knows the meaning of courage and commitment, and he would bring both qualities to the Legislature in Olympia. At a time when the public cries out for quality leadership in public office, Tom is willing to step forward and present himself for public service. As a former Member of Congress, I've had the opportunity to know high quality individuals. Tom Dent is one of the finest people I have known in life because he's trustworthy and honorable.

I urge voters of the 13th District to support Tom Dent for election to Position #1 in our State Legislature. He'll be a Legislator who will make us proud.
