Dear Editor:
The economic future of Washington state is resting more than ever on the upcoming mid-term election. Voters must take this election seriously and vote for individuals who are the best choice to exercise fiscal restraint when working to get our state’s finances back in order.

Of the two young candidates running for state representative in the 34th legislative district, Mike Heavey shows the most promise to be fiscally responsible when guiding our state toward economic recovery and sustained economic growth. When elected, Mike will have the opportunity to reel in spending to help our economy recover, and focus on a long-term job creation strategy: improving our education system.

Strengthening our state’s education system will promise us a future of economic competitiveness. Providing better schools and better trained teachers for our youth will create more jobs here at home and result in a Washington that will compete in the global economy. The best way to ensure that we recover from this recession and to ensure a brighter future for our children is by electing Mike Heavey for state representative in the 34th legislative district. Of the two candidates, he is best choice for our district.

Steve Loeb
