The following message was sent to 6th District voters by Jen Kilmer Congressman Derek Kilmers wife: Friends, This week I cast my ballot and was proud to vote for Derek. I say that because I see how hard he works, how passionately he feels about getting this economy moving, and how much he cares about building a better future -- for Sophie and Tess -- and for everybody. I want to share a great opinion piece by columnist Joel Connelly in the Seattle P-I that identifies Derek as a class act who is making us proud. Heres what was written about Derek: Kilmer stepped into giant shoes (with football cleats) when he succeeded Norm Dicks in Congress. He’s had an outstanding first term. He navigated D.C. gridlock to get through a small, historically significant piece of legislation, recognizing the name of the Bainbridge Island Japanese-American Exclusion Memorial. Kilmer has seemingly been everywhere. He was at the gates of the Puget Sound Naval Shipyard, when House leaders stumbled into a forced furlough of federal workers. He raised hell over Victoria’s not treating the raw sewage it dumps into the Strait of Juan de Fuca. He listened, then carefully crafted a wild Olympics preservation proposal with Sen. Patty Murray. Beneath the aw-shucks style, Kilmer is a politician of values and convictions. Im proud of what Derek has done. But more importantly, Im hopeful for what he can do. Please make sure to send in your ballot and think about joining us for the final push. All weekend we’ll be out talking to voters and we won’t stop until election night. Get in touch and help us knock on a few doors, talk to a few more voters, and make this election one to remember. Best, Jen Kilmer
