In this day of instant communication with social media at our finger tips, we need to be careful that we don’t jump to conclusions that will have an impact on our and other futures.

We have known Joe Fain since he was first elected to the Washington state Senate, and we support his statement that this should be an open, fair and complete process.

We have found Joe to be open-minded and honorable. His ability to work across the aisle on all issues, including Pre-K-12 education, is very dear to our hearts. We believe that our children should be given an opportunity to reach their own potential success. They need to be part of a functioning future society as well as individual contributors to our next generation. Joe understands this.

Thank you, Sen. Fain, for your tireless service to our kids and to the 47th Legislative District. It is greatly appreciated.

We support Sen. Fain and encourage our voters to re-elect him on Nov. 6.
