Washington State Patrol Troopers Association Endorses Rep. Larsen for Re-Election

 

Everett, WA - The Washington State Patrol Troopers Association has endorsed U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen (WA-02) for a fourth term in the U.S. House of Representatives.

 

"Endorsing Congressman Rick Larsen again was an easy decision for the Troopers Association board," said Tom Pillow, President of the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association, today. "He has been a friend with an open ear and open door during his entire tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, always supporting public safety issues that are critical to every officer's personal and professional lives. Serving on the highly important Transportation and Infrastructure Committee he is working hard to secure funding for needed U.S. 2 safety improvements. As a member of the Armed Services Committee he has stood up in support of our military heroes." 

 

In a letter to Larsen, Pillow wrote, "Your understanding of transportation safety matters and your position on public safety issues make you the clear choice for re-election."

 

"I am honored to have the support of the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association which represents over 1,100 Washington state law enforcement officers who work every day to keep us safe," said Larsen. "I will keep working in Congress to support local law enforcement and make sure they have the tools they need to fight crime and protect our communities."

 

The Washington State Patrol Troopers Association represents over 1,100 troopers, detectives, and sergeants throughout Washington state. This is the third time the organization has endorsed Larsen for election to U.S. Congress.
