It is with great pleasure that I ask you to join me in voting for Lovel Pratt for County Council. I’ve worked with Lovel on affordable housing issues, and my experience is that she is thoughtful, calm, knowledgeable, (very) competent and collaborative. She seeks balanced solutions that represent all the county’s residents. In addition, she has the ear of our legislators in Olympia. In these times of economic shortfall and cutbacks in governmental services, it is crucial that we have councilmembers willing to go the extra mile to ensure the state does not forget our small county. Lovel has done that hard work, again and again.

Lovel is a proven leader who follows through on her commitments, and she has earned my trust and respect. Please join me in casting an enthusiastic vote for Lovel Pratt for County Council.
