This letter is in support of the candidacy of Rud Browne for Washington 40th District House Position 1.

Rud Browne is a person who makes a difference wherever he serves, in business or public service. I have known and worked with Rud over the past 10 years in various organizations and capacities. As a member of the county council in Whatcom County, Rud has followed through with his campaign promises in a proactive, positive way.

I believe Rud should be elected to serve as our representative in Olympia where he will have a strong, positive impact.

Rud Browne has my vote!
