William Dehnel
(Prefers Labor Democrat Party)statement appears human
We need representation focused on common people and the
issues that we all face. As a Union Officer, I’ve fought to protect wages,
jobs, safety, and access to affordable healthcare. In Olympia, I’ve lobbied to protect
us from Corporate predatory pricing, to expand access to childcare, and protect the right to collectively bargain. I’ll
find common sense solutions to lower healthcare costs, protect rural
communities like ours, repair our failing infrastructure, and give every individual the chance to live a life of honor and dignity.
Together we can build a Washington that supports and
protects it’s Rural and working families.
