Washington State Attorney General Rob McKenna
“I've seen Joe in action, serving the people of the 47th District, since my days on the King County Council. He represents the best of the Republican party's future here in Washington State. As Attorney General, I need an ally like Joe in the legislature. I hope you will join me in endorsing and strongly supporting his candidacy for the State Senate.”
Fmr. United States Senator Slade Gorton
“I have been fortunate to work closely with Joe over the years. He is a great example of the next generation of Washington leaders. His experience and his deep understanding of the issues facing our state will make him an effective and principled member of the State Senate.”
Fmr. Senator Steve Johnson
“I've known Joe and his work in the community for years. His commitment to holding the line on taxes will provide the leadership we need to solve our state's budget crisis. There is no one better suited to stand up against wasteful spending in Olympia. After the last four years, it's time to restore the fiscal sanity our community deserves. Please join me in endorsing and working to elect Joe Fain as our next state Senator.”
State Representative Skip Priest
“Having worked closely with Joe over several years his reputation for working well with state and local leaders is well earned. His experience and his work ethic will benefit the state and his community. Joe's commitment to public education and his open-minded approach to problem solving will make him a welcomed addition to the state legislature.”
King County Councilmember Reagan Dunn
“I've known Joe Fain to be an effective leader at the county council on key issues from flood protection to public safety. Joe has fought for thoughtful reforms, responsible spending, and working within our budgets, and he will continue to do so in Olympia.”
King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert
“I have worked side-by-side with Joe Fain on countless issues over the past several years. He was a strong supporter for creating the Flood Control District and has been a tireless advocate for the residents of the Green River Valley. As a former state legislator, I know how important it is to have proven leaders like Joe working for us in Olympia.”
Federal Way Mayor Linda Kochmar
“Joe has always been a responsive problem solver in local government. I strongly support his candidacy for the Washington State Senate.”
Milton Mayor Katrina Asay
“I have always been able to count on Joe to help me and our city whenever and however we need it. Recently, his work on Emergency Medical Services helped move us closer to providing dependable Fire and 911 services to our residents. Joe has a knack for bringing the right people together to solve problems.”
Susan Hutchison
“Joe is one of the brightest up-and-coming stars in state leadership. I have seen his in-depth knowledge of government and his unmatched work ethic up close. When you talk to Joe it doesn't take much time to see he has a passion for south King County and its residents. Please join me on the doorsteps, in the parades, on the street corners waving signs, and doing all we can to send Joe to Olympia this November.”
