Port Angeles, WA – April 4, 2018 – Jodi Wilke of Jefferson County announced her candidacy for 24th District House of Representatives this morning at a meeting held at Joshua’s in Port Angeles, WA. There were approximately 30 people in attendance as she shared her ideas about how to make government better in Olympia.
Jodi, a mother, nurse, and Zumba instructor is challenging a Clallam County incumbent for the 24th District, Position 1 seat, in Olympia’s next session.
“There is a Republican tide rising. We are the party that will fight for you. I hear your heart and I will fight for you,” announced Wilke, at Joshua’s Restaurant in Port Angeles.
The Jefferson County resident championed the successful Proposition 1 drive, on behalf of property owners and citizens of Port Townsend, involving housing units.
“We truly are the party that represents the hopes of the people”, affirmed Wilke, who is a strong supporter of the US military and veterans.
Supporting the education needs, in the schools, is a high priority of the candidate. She also wants to make sure children are protected, while at school. Wise education funding is also important to her.
Frivolous lawsuits by our legislators is another concern, in that she believes there is a lack of public scrutiny.
The Olympic Peninsula, in many areas struggles for growth because of policy decisions, in outlying areas, which also worries the candidate.
Creating a safe and healthy district is paramount to Wilke, who plans to resist higher taxes and desires more fiscal responsibility, for her constituents.
