We can’t trust her to lead us in Olympia.
REFUSED ACCOUNTABILITY — Declined standard sobriety tests and refused breathalyzer testing. When separately accused of cocaine possession, she responded “I forgot I had it.”
DENIED RESPONSIBILITY — Blamed confusion after a 5-car chain-reaction crash in a residential neighborhood.
UNFIT TO LEAD — Asking you for your vote while facing active criminal DUI charges.
WE DESERVE RESPONSIBLE LEADERSHIP.
