JOHN LATTA, Richland

To have our best future, we should send our most honest and straightforward representatives to the state Legislature. Jay Clough and Richard Reuther will have a strong and respected voice in the state House of Representatives, while representing the values and needs of Tri-Citians.

These two are real Washingtonians who understand that working for the region's best future is their job No. 1 in Olympia. If we send them there, they'll do it. Please join me in electing Clough and Reuther to represent the 8th District in Olympia this fall.
