Elect proven role model

I would like you to consider voting for Kevin Parker, who is running for the Washington state House of Representatives for the 6th District of Spokane. Kevin has played a formative role in my life and the lives of many of my peers.

I met Kevin Parker as a junior-higher while he was a volunteer Young Life leader. As I have continued to know Kevin and his wife Kerry on into my adult life, he has continued to be a consistent, insightful and supportive friend and mentor. During my high school years he was called to Littleton, Colo., for a position in Young Life and was there when the shootings took place. From that day on he and his wife opened their home to many students who just needed a place to find peace and hope. Several of those students have now become some of my close friends.

As I have observed Kevin over the past fifteen years I have found him to be a man of great integrity, wisdom and passion. I am confident these qualities will abound as he serves the 6th District.
