Olympia Port Commission needs Downing's experience

I am encouraging you to vote for Joe Downing for Olympia port commissioner, district 1.

I have known Joe for the last six years and and have first hand experience of his integrity, commitment to reaching his goals and his good nature. He has never shied away from hard work and tackling difficult problems. He has had a passion for the port since he moved here over 10 years ago. This led him to become a volunteer for the port’s Citizen Advisory Committee, which he participated in for six years.

He has work and educational experience that prepares him to meet the mission of the port, which is economic development. Joe has my support and vote. I hope he has yours too.
