Vancouver resident Julia Dawn Seaver offers her support for Jeremy Baker in the 49th Legislative District
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
Crippling inflation, rising crime rates, and a sense that the country is going in the wrong direction are the top concerns for Americans according to polls. Two years of Democrat policies have been disastrous for American families.

The 49th Legislative District has a chance to elect a representative who will be a champion for families. Jeremy Baker was raised in Clark County and knows our community and the issues. He wants to invest in our police officers and hold criminals accountable; get the state budget, which has doubled in the last ten years, under control; lower taxes; and put parents back in charge of their children and their education.
Help bring common sense back to the state legislature and send Jeremy Baker to Olympia.
Julia Dawn Seaver
