Scott Olson

Candidate for Washington State House of Representitives Position 1, 39th Legislative District

Scott Olson is running to unseat Republican Dan Kristiansen.

Mr Olson is running on platforms that highlight needed highway safety fixes for both US 2 and SR 522. Considering the failures of the incumbent to produce any effective results in that area (and the many traffic fatalities related to those failures), we believe it is imperative for the citizens of the 39th LD to make a change; and that Scott would provide real solutions to the issues impacting the 39th Legislative District.

Scott comes to his race as a concerned citizen who has lived and worked in the district for many years. He has owned a small business in the area and keeps in touch with the locals as a bartender in Monroe. His previous electoral experience includes a term on the Sultan City Council. Scott is particularly concerned about education and healthcare.

Fred Walser

Candidate for Washington State Senate, 39th Legislative District

Fred Walser is challenging current State Senator, Val Stevens.

Mr Walser is running on platforms that highlight needed highway safety fixes for both US 2 and SR 522. Considering the failures of the incumbent to produce any effective results in that area (and the many traffic fatalities related to those failures), we believe it is imperative for the citizens of the 39th LD to make a change; and that Fred would provide real solutions to the issues impacting the 39th Legislative District.

Fred brings a lifetime of public service in the area of law enforcement and traffic safety to bear in his race. After serving 28 years with the Washington State Patrol, Fred served as Police Chief for the City of Sultan for the past 11 years. He has also served as Chair of the US 2 Safety Coalition. Fred is also concerned about education reform and told us that he would bring together all interested parties to come up with working solutions for the this urgent issue.

Joe Wilson

Candidate for Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Position 6

Joe Wilson is running for the open seat vacated by retiring Judge Richard Thorpe.

Mr Wilson's professional and personal history make him the best qualified individual to sit on the bench. While Wilson has numerous endorsements from the political community it is probably most significant that he is endorsed by retiring Superior Court Judge Richard Thorpe.

The Snohomish County Bench has an outstanding reputation and we believe Mr Wilson will continue that tradition as Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Position 6.
