Parker Gains Nethercutt Endorsement
July 19, 2008
Early yesterday morning Parker was informed by former Congressman George Nethercutt that he was foregoing his primary neutrality and endorsing Kevin for the State Legislature!
Campaign Updates!
It has been an exciting past few months! In addition raising more money than either of his opponents, Kevin has spent countless hours and walked close to a 1,000 miles around the 6th District to meet and interact with the folks who make up the 6th District. We are constantly humbled more and more every day by the every day people we encounter. This is evident by the fact that 90% of Parker’s contributions are from the Spokane County. Kevin has become the local candidate of choice for thousands of citizens in the 6th District!
Thank you to all of you who have supported Parker so selflessly through your time and money. Know that in this election, each of us has the power to truly make a difference in the way our state will be run. We who are a part of the Parker Movement are truly inspired and humbled, as this campaign ceases to be about just electing Kevin Parker to the State Legislature and more about restoring the hope and vision of Spokane not just being just a great place live, but to work hard and raise our families as well.
Below are a few of the comments the campaign has received from individuals regarding their interactions with Kevin.
