Reader: vote for Tom Dent
Tom Dent is currently running for our 13th District representative for the state of Washington. Because of elections and serendipity, I have been gifted the blessing to get to spend an enormous amount time with the Dent family. I just wanted to let the public know, how much I genuinely appreciate and love that family. They are some of the kindest, caring, and funniest people God has created. When I told them about the museum crisis regarding our annual holiday fundraiser, so we can be able to afford the craft supplies for our Family Fun Saturdays, (every first Saturday of the month, from 12-2, that hosts between 100-200 children), Dayna Dent selflessly jumped in to help. When I told them about the daily unbearable pain every time my heart beats, because I miss my children so much, they wiped away my tears, held me, prayed with me, reassured me, "Don't worry we will find a way," and further said, "Remember who loves you." This family really cares about others. They have such a great sense of humor and are always laughing, smiling and lifting others spirits. Tom is a really hard worker. In my 30-plus years of political experience. I have never seen a candidate spend so much time personally door belling and/or make so many calls, just to encourage people to vote. I just want to encourage the public to please turn in your ballot, and vote Tom Dent as our 13th District representative because he worked hard to earn this position and he deserves it. Also, please re-elect Angus Lee for prosecutor.
