One-issue-voters must look around at the hundreds of problems that are driving us to the verge of failure – our cherished influence in the world is vanishing. 

For the last fifty years, the inept Democratic Party leadership has taken us down the troubled path of moral decay. To commence this turnaround locally, we need to elect moral leaders like Jeremy Baker to represent us in the 49^th District. 

With Washington state back on track, the effort will set an example for the rest of the country.  Baker’s state initiatives will encourage America – there is hope for the future!
