To the editor:

Those of us who live in the 10th District are fortunate to be well represented by Norma Smith and Barbara Bailey. Both have served on the Washington Economic Development Commission searching for new industries and doing what they can in preserving and keeping existing business strong.

The people who work in the natural resources-based industries appreciate Rep. Barbara Bailey and Rep. Norma Smith’s hard work to help created the economic climate necessary for good jobs and successful businesses.

If you believe, as I do, that keeping our existing businesses strong and forming new industries, will create more jobs; join me in voting for Rep. Norma Smith and Rep. Barbara Bailey.
