Opening Statement by Susan Hutchison

Susan Hutchison, candidate for U.S. Senator, debated incumbent Maria Cantwell in the U.S. Senate race on October 8th.  Susan did a stellar job of pointing out the differences between the Republicans and the Democrats, sharing how Republicans have action-packed plans for the future of Americans across the nation, while the Democrats seem to “resist” anything and everything that our President Donald Trump puts forth.  Here is Susan’s opening statement at the debate:

Vote “NO” on Initiative 1639

Vote “NO” on Initiative 1639

Please Vote “No” on Initiative 1639 (I-1639) in November

By Jim McEntire

September 10, 2018

I’ve read the initiative myself and here’s a short take on what is wrong with this initiative.  For an in-depth review, please see Larry Williams’ posts on Facebook.  Larry’s a former Port Angeles City Councilor who now lives in Omak.

First, a couple of facts about I-1639.  It was sponsored by three Washington billionaires, plus a billionaire who is from New York city.  It says its purpose is to reduce gun violence by adding further restrictions on who is allowed to buy “semi-automatic assault rifles” which is the term used by those who seek more stringent gun control to get people to be scared of semi-automatic rifles of any type.  This initiative is a good example of special interest legislation that comes from those who desire to have control over the common person, and to make exercise of our rights under the federal and State constitutions more difficult for the common person.  (more…)

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.
