Editor,

It is our pleasure to submit this letter of endorsement for Shane Hoffmire on behalf of the over 2,400 Local Union 191 members, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, covering the five northwest and four central counties of Washington state.

Our Local is always seeking labor-friendly candidates and we feel we have found a credible person in Shane Hoffmire and feel he will be loyal to our movement and principles.

We trust that our support for Shane will insure a candidate that will not only work hard to represent the community, but also help build pride in union working families.

Respectfully,

Jeremy Chase President IBEW 191

Andrew Vander Stoep Chair 191 COPE
