I have known Terri since 1999 when she was the Sales Manager at Alderbrook Resort and Spa. Terri was a member of the key management team and a department head.  Terri’s decision making skills were heavily relied upon by the General Manager and she was directly responsible for the success at Alderbrook.
 
She is an effective legislator and a clear thinker. Terri’s work with the Washington Association of Realtors in legislative policy development led her to speak in the legislature and as an advocate for land use policies that develop growth and benefit homeowners.  Terri is compassionate and not afraid to address difficult issues.
 
As a business owner of a water management utility, Terri understands the direct impact of legislative decisions on our environment and infrastructure.
 
You would be well served to vote for Terri.  I know her personally and professionally as an incisive decision maker and a woman of integrity.
I endorse Terri Jeffreys as a candidate for Mason County Commissioner.

If you have been watching TV or reading your mail lately, you must be confused about all the "small government " Democrats campaigning in our state, especially in the 35th District.  These can't be the same people who have been in the legislature during the past 14 years.  Oh wait - they are!
Rep. Haigh's TV ad touts her small government and lower tax stands.  Is this the same person that was fifth highest in sponsoring or co-sponsoring proposed tax or fee increases in 2012 in the House? (The Freedom Foundation Voter Guide)  Is this the same person, and party, that refused to work on and address the budgetary needs of the state this year until forced to in a second special session?  Is this the same representative that votes against the 35th and continually supports overriding the people's will to make tax increases difficult and not the very first option?
It is the same person, and it is time for a change to a representative who actually is for smaller government, prioritized spending, and truly represents the people of the 35th District.  Dan Griffey will actually bring these issues to Olympia and work to implement them, not just give them lip service for a week in the fall, every two years.  Let's get a representative who votes the same way they advertise and who represents this district, not the party caucus.
I join with the Kitsap Sun in supporting Dan Griffey and Drew MacEwen for new leadership in the 35th, http://www.kitsapsun.com/news/2012/oct/16/our-view-newcomers-griffey-macewan-in-35th/
