Letter: Vote Bill Jenkin to represent 16th District
I support Bill Jenkin for state representative for the 16th District. Bill has the integrity, work ethic, and breadth of knowledge to serve our district well.
As a small business owner, Bill understands fiscal responsibility, and he’s dealt firsthand with burdensome government regulation. He knows government should get out of the way — not stand in the way — of small business success.
Bill is a tireless community volunteer. He’s been involved with Rotary, the Boys & Girls Club and the Prosser Economic Development Association.
He’s currently president of the Prosser School Board. He has developed a well-rounded understanding of the issues in education. He will work to ensure Washington meets its obligation to funding education — without raising taxes. He supports choice in education, and he believes all students should have an opportunity to pursue postsecondary education whether through a trade school, technical school or traditional college environment.
As a vineyard and winery owner, Bill knows the vital economic role agriculture plays in our state. He will work hard to solve important water, regulatory, and agri-tourism issues to help our district’s agricultural businesses thrive.
When compared to his competitors, Bill stands out as the best choice in the 16th.
Jeff Andrews, Prosser
