As firefighters, our job is to take care of people. When we evaluate a candidate running for public office, we look for someone with the same passion and dedication to the people of Bellevue, King County, and the state of Washington that we have. We want our public officials to believe in the work we do and to support the people we serve. We feel the above mentioned candidates are committed to such a cause and have put our full endorsement behind their campaigns.

We encourage all citizens to carefully evaluate each candidate to determine if they truly act in the best interests of the public. Be sure the candidate you choose is working to protect the public, not their own special interests. Speak up and vote in the coming election.

Thank you for taking the time to consider the input of your local firefighter.

Sincerely,

Keith Allen
Vice-President
