Tom Riggs to Run for State Representative – 10th L.D.

At a standing-room-only meeting of Camano Democrats last night, Tom Riggs of Camano Island announced that he is again a candidate for State Representative from the 10th Legislative District, which includes Island County.

Tom’s goals for his first term in the Washington Legislature are:
•  Washington Jobs
•  A Sustainable Economy
•  A Voice for Working People

Tom is taking the grassroots path of becoming a candidate:  he is working to collect signatures of over 500 Island County voters to submit to the Secretary of State’s office, in lieu of a filing fee.  If you would like to collect 10 signatures for Tom, please click here for a link on Tom’s website to a printable version of his petition.  Make sure only registered voters sign the petition, and when you are finished, please mail it to Tom’s campaign office.

Tom needs a strong showing of support from all parts of Island County, and definitely needs money to run a campaign against the very-well funded Barbara Bailey. Tom will certainly appreciate it if you volunteer to help on his campaign or donate $$$$ to the campaign.
