Letter: Thanks to voters, volunteers for election support

Now that the primary is over and the votes have been counted, I’d like to first thank all of the voters who put their trust in me and my ideas for our district, and I will continue to reach out to those whom I haven’t convinced yet.

I’d also like to thank all of the candidates in the race for the 16th Legislative District for running honest and spirited campaigns. I hope to meet with you all soon to discuss your ideas for moving our district forward. Only together can we hope to maintain our conservative values and get our state back on track.

I’d like to thank all of the volunteers that have helped get our message out, and my staff for their hard work so far.

Last, but definitely not least, I’d like to thank my wife Lisa and my family for their support. Without them I don’t think I could have succeeded in the primary.

We have less than three months until November, and we must continue to work hard to make our case. I look forward to meeting with even more voters to learn more about what they want out of their next representative. Thank you!

Bill Jenkin, Prosser
