— from Carryn Vande Griend for Rick Larsen —

Next week, Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) launches his campaign for re-election for Congress at five kick-off events across Snohomish, Skagit, Whatcom, Island, and San Juan counties. Residents of Washington’s 2nd Congressional District are invited to attend the kick-off events in their local communities.

“Each day I am guided by what I hear when I visit with students, families, and small businesses at home – the challenges they face, and the opportunities they seek. And it all comes down to being a champion for our middle class,” said Larsen, whose family has called Northwest Washington home for over a century. “This means building an economy that creates jobs, increasing access to education, protecting our environment, fighting the opioid epidemic, and ensuring our veterans have access to the care and resources they need.”

“I have a proven track record of standing up, and delivering, for the 2nd District,” Larsen added, “If re-elected, I will continue my work to create jobs, expand opportunities for the middle class, and make sure the next generation of workers has the tools they need to succeed in the workforce.”

Residents of the 2nd District are encouraged to RSVP for the campaign kickoffs at www.RickLarsen.org.
