CAMAS, WA – Today, the Lewallen for Congress campaign announced that they have received the endorsements of three elected leaders from across Washington’s Third Congressional district. Dennis Weber, Cowlitz County Commissioner; Ramona Leber, Longview City Council member; and Victoria Ferrer, Battleground City Council member have all announced their support for Leslie’s candidacy.
The support of these civic leaders is yet one more reminder that throughout her campaign, Leslie has managed to build a broad base of support. When asked about why they chose to support Leslie’s candidacy, they all identified her commitment to limited government, her support for improving Washington’s bridges and roads, her focus on addressing the region’s crime and homelessness, and a desire to see the WA-03 congressional seat held by a Republican again as factors that impacted their support.
When asked about their support, Leslie said: “I am honored to receive the endorsement of these fellow elected officials. Only someone who has won a campaign and been about the business of serving constituents can really understand what it takes to be an effective elected official – which makes these endorsements all the more meaningful. Our state and nation are facing a lot of significant challenges from the crisis at the border, to a failing economy, rising prices and an increase in crime – I look forward to getting to DC, rolling up my sleeves, and working hard to tackle these problems while serving the wonderful citizens of WA-03.”
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.
