Letter: Novakovich the right choice for Port of Kennewick

It is my distinct pleasure to recommend to all voters in the Port of Kennewick District, the re-election of Skip Novakovich as commissioner. Skip has been a friend of mine for many years, and I have always known him to be an honorable man who cares deeply for his family, his business, the Port of Kennewick, it’s staff, residents, and many businesses.

His military service to our country and his support of active duty military as well as all of our veterans is commendable. The vision that he shares with his fellow commissioners is a great example of his commitment to keeping the economic engine of the Port of Kennewick strong, viable and sustainable for the future.

Please vote to re-elect my friend Skip to another term as your commissioner.

Phillip Lemley, Richland
