Darcy Burner is my choice for our state’s 5th Legislative District for many reasons.

Darcy can advocate for small business owners, being one herself. Although highly educated and a former manager at Microsoft, her roots are working class, and she has built her own small business in Carnation. Darcy is the candidate who understands firsthand the needs of our vital small businesses.

Darcy Burner supports the core American value of equal public education for all. Unlike those who would supplant our public schools with charter schools for the wealthy and special-interest groups, Darcy wants to upgrade and fully fund our public schools.

Education is vital to a democracy, and school teachers should be respected and compensated fairly. Darcy will push to make our state’s education system one we can be proud of.

Darcy has done volunteer work for years, not to give herself a public “halo,” but because she believes in and supports efforts to make our world a better place. Caring for people is a traditional American value.

Here’s how it adds up for me: Darcy Burner wants to improve the lives of regular people, using her drive, political savvy, and integrity to deploy public funds wisely.

Rather than another corporate attorney like her opponent, we need a down-to-earth representative like Darcy Burner. I urge you to get informed about what Darcy has to offer.

I think you’ll find, like I did, that Darcy Burner is the candidate who deserves our votes.
