Write in Sutinen for state representative

To The Eagle:

Now that our primary ballots have arrived in the mail, we have some pretty tough choices to make. There are many qualified people running for many offices but only two for each office will eventually go on the general election ballots.

In a few instances, only one person is running for a particular office, but the point of my letter is to remind you that you have the opportunity to write in and candidate of your choice, if you wish.

That said, Brian Blake is listed for the office of State Representative, District #19, position #2. I would like to recommend another choice as a write in candidate, Tim Sutinen of Longview. Tim is not new to the election process as he ran in the last election and took about 47 percent of the vote.

This would be a great opportunity to get a person elected that has the ideals and independent thinking to represent the people and not the special interest groups. He is a man of his word, an entrepreneur who believes in less government, less taxes, and he practices what he preaches. He needs at least 1 percent of the primary vote to be listed on the general ballot, so before you mail in your ballot, write Tim Sutinen’s name on the line under Brian Blake's name and fill in the bubble next to it. At least then we will have a choice.
