Without a doubt Congressman Dave Reichert is the clear choice to represent those in the Eighth District. During his tenure, he has demonstrated that he has a strong understanding of the issues that matter to the constituents of the district. This is apparent by his numerous endorsements which include the National Education Association, Washington Small Business Council, the Seattle Times and the major public safety organizations.

As a former King County Sheriff, Reichert demonstrates his commitment to protecting and serving others. The president recently signed into law a package of bills including Reichert’s legislation to combat sex trafficking of foster kids. The First Focus Campaign for Children recognized Reichert for his extraordinary efforts to protect and improve the lives of youth with their “Champions of Children” award. I thank Reichert for his leadership on this important issue and wholeheartedly add my name to the many endorsements he has already received.
