Stephanie McClinton will bring strong leadership to Olympia and help correct the public safety problems created by recent state legislation. Property and violent crime are out of control in our state and are increasing at an alarming rate. 

We need Stephanie McClintock to represent us in the 18th Legislative District to correct Olympia’s disastrous policies. Stephanie’s leadership will provide real solutions for issues facing our state. 

I know and support Stephanie McClintock. Her vision will provide real solutions for homelessness, public safety and will protect our quality of life. For strong leadership, please support Stephanie McClintock.

Kristi Valentine
Vancouver
