Accomplish common goals: Tom Dent

I am writing this letter in support of Tom Dent. I have known him for over forty years and believe him to be the best candidate to represent the 13th District in Olympia. I have served on the Washington State Republican Party State Committee for thirty years and I served with Tom for ten of those years.

I found him strong, energetic and passionate about our country and our state. He is a natural leader and is able to organize and inspire other people to work hard to accomplish common goals.

Growing up in the Columbia Basin and working with farmers as a spray pilot has given Tom a broad understanding of the needs of our agricultural area.

He knows that access to water is essential for maintaining our lifestyle, producing our food and keeping us in jobs.

I am asking you to vote for Tom Dent. He is the most qualified candidate for the position.

Betty Hanes
