We need leaders in Olympia who respect their constituents by addressing complex issues honestly, with compassion for everyone they represent. John Zingale, an award-winning history teacher, will do just that. His opponent seems to have a low opinion of voters, assuming new ideas such as ranked choice voting would be “much too confusing” for voters and dodging her previously stated anti-choice stance on abortion to try to appear more moderate than she is. The 18th Legislative District deserves the high standards, competence, and intellectual honesty that John Zingale will deliver.
