To The Eagle:

I personally endorse Representative Brian Blake’s re-election to the State House of Representatives. I worked with Representative Blake when I served as both a Representative and Senator in the 19th Legislative District.

Representative Blake grew up in Aberdeen, and he understands the issues that are important to residents of the 19th legislative district. He has done an exceptional job as Chair of the House Natural Resources Committee, and he has been a tireless advocate for timber industry jobs in rural communities. Rep. Blake is uniquely situated to have influence over the issues that are most critical for southwest Washington. This gives the 19th District a unique seat at the decision making table and its best ability for rural Washington to be heard over the noise of more urban areas.

Please support Representative Brian Blake to assure that his leadership and influence will continue to serve residents of the 19th. Losing his seniority, experience, expertise, and effectiveness in Olympia would be a loss for the communities of the 19th District that is not easy to recreate.
