Incredible news!!

“Working in education has shown me firsthand what happens when you really invest in our young people early,” We need legislators that will invest in our youth. It’s time for a new generation to represent the 37th. Read more about my priorities written by Samuel Ross @nwprogressive.org ⬇️
