I have worked diligently during the past eight years to be a strong and independent voice on behalf of Washington consumers.  I would like the opportunity to continue to fight for another four years to see that consumers in our state are treated fairly.

But the main reason I am seeking a third term is to bring leadership to reform our broken health insurance system and make quality, affordable health insurance available to every Washington resident.

I hope you will take the time to join us on August 28.  I look forward to seeing you there!

With all of the county's water systems almost totally dependent on ground water for clean, fresh drinking water, issues related to water quality and available water supply cannot be ignored, said Sandra Romero, candidate for Thurston County Commissioner. "We have had growth and are still growing, and we don't even know how much potable water we will need or where we will get it from. This problem is like spending money out of your checking account but never knowing what the balance is. Chances are that, eventually, the funds will run out and you will be left high and dry," she said.

You're invited to speak up for quality, affordable health care at The Washington Health Care Caucus!  

Health care costs are skyrocketing and every day an uninsured Washington resident dies because of lack of insurance and proper medical care.  It's time to reform our broken health care system to give us all the peace of mind we deserve.

The Washington Health Care Caucus is a series of seven townhall meetings throughout Washington state to provide Washingtonians the opportunity to speak up for what we deserve in our health care system and learn about options for reform.  The Washington Health Care Caucus is being organized by the Healthy Washington Coalition, a coalition of over 90 labor unions, community organizations, health care providers, and businesses working for quality, affordable health care for everyone.
