Letter: Bill Jenkin is natural choice for state representative

Bill Jenkin’s proven and varied work and leadership experiences make him the natural selection for the 16th District state representative.

Bill has strong, well-honed leadership skills. He has used these skills in his current role as Rotary 5060 district regional governor.

Locally, Bill is well-known for his forward-thinking abilities, which have allowed him to convert several closed buildings in town and turn the space into successful businesses. He also has ties to the local agricultural community through a vineyard and winery he has built from the ground up.

And finally, Bill has been an active member of the Prosser School Board for the past three years. As president of the school board, he has aided the district as they have worked collaboratively to ensure all students’ needs for quality education are their first priority.

All of Bill’s strengths and experiences make him a strong and viable candidate to lead and represent the 16th District in the state House of Representatives. I strongly urge you to select Bill Jenkin as your candidate.
