I am writing to strongly encourage voters to support Mike Hope for State Representative.

As the father of three young boys, I am thankful that we have the opportunity to send someone to Olympia that has a strong law enforcement background.

I have known Mike for several years and know that we can count on him to do what’s right for our children — whether it’s creating safer communities and better schools or helping our kids achieve their athletic and academic potential.

It’s very easy for elected officials to get lost in the Olympia shuffle and become just another politician.

Voters in the 44th District are lucky enough to have someone on their ballot that will break this trend. Mike understands the issues our families are facing because he is one of us. Please vote for Mike, you’ll be glad you did.
