We lost votes in the Primary in Clallam County simply because not enough Republicans turned out to vote.

Voters need to be reminded of these three really important reasons to vote:

Democrats want a state income tax! Democrat candidates are trying to hide the fact they are for a state income tax but we know better. The Democrat party platform even calls for it. The Democrats all fall in line on key votes in Olympia and they have had multiple special sessions trying to institute it.

The Democrat candidates are being funded by radical millionaires and billionaires from outside the state! Just follow the money on the PDC and FEC. Democrat candidate for Lt. Governor, Cyrus Habib, is raising money in California, Massachusetts, and Illinois. Democrat candidate for Secretary of State, Tina Podlodowski is fundraising from LGBT donors across the country for her race. California billionaire, Tom Steyer, has attempted to buy our county elections and our state legislature multiple times. Don’t let these elitists buy our election!

The Democrats are pushing the radical Seattle agenda across the state! The Democrat candidates take their policy prescriptions straight from the radical progressives of Seattle. Their ideas for minimum wage hikes against small businesses, middle-class tax increases, and social engineering will be implemented by every Democrat that takes office. This state is more than just Seattle and voters need to make themselves heard!

Remember, our great Republican candidates will share their positive messages of im- proving the lives of all Washingtonians. We need to remind voters of the dangers citizens face if Democrats are elected! (by Jake Braunger) Trust Land, Schools and You Reasons to vote for Donald J. Trump What are trust lands?
