CAMAS, WA – Today, William Oltman, professor emeritus at Seattle University School of Law, announced his endorsement of Leslie Lewallen for WA-03.
On announcing his endorsement, Professor Oltman said: “Leslie Lewallen is an exceptional person and we are fortunate that someone of this caliber is willing to uproot herself and take our fight to Washington. She is also an exceptional lawyer and she is most capable to handle and face the issues raised in DC. I am a Professor of Law, Emeritus from Seattle University School of Law and Leslie was one of the best students I have had in my classes. Beyond that academic success, I am most impressed by her common sense and how well grounded she is, has always been. We desperately need that in the current Congress. She is the person I want to represent me and my family in Washington DC!”
Leslie Lewallen, on receiving this endorsement, said: “I was so fortunate to have Professor Oltman in law school. He was the type of teacher that every student hopes for – patient, easy to understand and deeply interested in the lives and welfare of his students. Receiving his endorsement is humbling, and I am so thankful for his continued interest and investment in my life. Restoring law and order begins by enforcing the laws we already have, and ensuring our law enforcement has all the support and resources they need. This will be a top priority when I am in office, and I look forward to delivering for the hardworking families and residents of WA-03.“
Professor Oltman received his Bachelor’s degree from the University of Wisconsin and went on to graduate cum laude from the University of Michigan School of Law. His teaching experience includes time at the Indianapolis Law School as well as Victoria University in Wellington, New Zealand. He joined the faculty at Seattle University School of Law in 1974, specializing in property, community property, estate planning and taxation as well as trusts and estates.
The Lewallen campaign continues to receive endorsements from a dynamic group of supporters from every walk of life and background- demonstrating, yet again, that Leslie is the best candidate to represent the diverse voters of Southwest Washington. While Marie Gluesenkamp Perez actively votes against the interests of WA-03 constituents, Leslie Lewallen will fight to show voters that there is a better path forward.
