Clyde Shavers, candidate for Washington’s 10th Legislative District, grew up in a household that was strong on public service. The duty to work for your community was clearly instilled in him by his father’s service, both in the military and the police force.

Clyde has served in the U.S. Navy. Like many of our veterans, his service does not end there. He has been working in environmental law, helping protect precious resources like clean water, while serving on the boards of several non-profits that address homelessness.

I ran into Clyde at the recent Friendship House donor appreciation dinner and was pleased to learn he is on the board of that institution. He not only serves on the board, but he shows up once a week to serve meals too. By doing this he can hear about issues from fellow board members as well as from those in need of housing and community services.

We need more representatives like him in Olympia: People who know how our community is struggling and where services are needed to keep our community safe and strong.

Elect Clyde Shavers to the Washington House of Representatives!
