Letter: Support Wilson for Senate

By Larry A. Hoff, Vancouver

Tim Probst has aired ads suggesting that love and peace will solve Washington’s problems. He purports to be running a “clean” campaign for the 17th District Senate seat, but his “clean” campaign distributed a hit piece on his opponent, Lynda Wilson. Along with a disparaging picture and Probst’s fabrications, he asks, “Who would you hire?”

I’d hire Wilson in a heartbeat. I worked with her for over 10 years at Columbia Credit Union. Her attention to detail, professionalism and polished work ethic served as an example for all to follow. She initiated programs that added to the operating efficiency of the credit union.

After her years at the credit union, Wilson was involved with her family business, DeWils Industries, providing her leadership and support to the challenges of a successful business. Fast forward to her political career; she’s worked tirelessly as a state representative for the 17th District. She’s of the ilk that reads and works to understand bills prior to voting, a trait that too few legislators possess.

If Probst voted for the best candidate, he’d vote for and hire Wilson.
