Cooper gets things done for constituents

I write in support of Jim Cooper for County Commissioner.

A year ago, Jim led the Olympia City Council's action to place on the ballot a parks funding measure. That measure passed with an overwhelming vote of 62 percent.

This illustrates that Jim has two important qualities that we need in a county commissioner. First, he is in tune with the values of the people he serves. And second, he knows how to get things done in local government.
