I have been a citizen of Washington state for 28 years and a Sammamish resident for seven years. I have met Ramiro Valderrama and listened to what others in our community have said about him. I found him to be a very credible and a refreshing voice of reason.

I am proud to have Valderrama willing to represent us in the 45th Legislative District. Others have spoke about his compassionate approach to governance and his willingness to listen and work to find solutions to problems. I was impressed to find that not only was he a graduate of West Point but that his son is currently enrolled. This tells me that he is a true patriot.

We are at a crossroads in Washington. We have an opportunity to choose our next state representative. Why not choose one that has demonstrated that he listens to his constituents and incorporates our voice into the process. Please consider voting for Valderrama for 45th Legislative District state representative.
