2010 Supporters and Endorsements
"Tom Campbell cares! When I call, he calls back. When I talk, he listens. When we need leadership,
he leads. No one works harder or cares more." - Bobbi Allison, Eatonville
"I am writing today to personally thank you for everything that you have done to support the 2nd
district. I am a local Real Estate Broker and a small business owner for the last 10 years. I
have always appreciate how you have every time put your peoples best interest first. Their have
been times that I know you upset people within the party in Olympia and I respect a Representative
that will work on his publics behalf. I truly appreciate all the work that has been done on the
cross base highway and how much it has and it will make it easier to get in and out of the Spanaway
region. All the work that you have done with the Meth Labs and the aggressive legislator that you
have done to help drive this problem out of our state. I appreciate as a small business owner that
you see our side being a small business owner yourself and the stress of keeping our doors open in
today's current economic times. I see you as a true conservative that listene to what your district
wants and needs and goes to battle for us. As a fellow vet myself the work that you have done for
our active duty, retired military, and vets means a lot to me. To have a representative that shares
the same background that so many of our people in the 2nd district means a lot to me. I wish you
the best of luck in the upcoming elections. I know that your opponent has resorted to misleading
statements about you and your record. This saddens me that someone would resort to such nasty tactics.
I know that I will be supporting you, campaigning for you, and casting my vote for you! Once again
thank you for all your hard work - and I am looking forward to seeing you representing us in the next
session." - Greg Towne, Real Estate Broker, Tacoma
"My name is Ted Wicorek and I support Tom Campbell because he works hard for the state of Washington.
Not being a Democrat or Republican I never ask his or her party however I do ask if they are patriots
do they stand when the flight goes by, do they get a warm feeling in her heart when they hear the
national anthem, do they support the Constitution and Bill of Rights do they support the traditions
on offices of this great nation of ours. With Tom I don't need to ask. He served in the Army as a
Green Beret just like I did. I've never known a man in Special Forces that was not a patriot. To
put yourself through that intensive training takes a deep love of country. Today our country and
state are in the grip is a deep financial recession. Tom understands this and is working hard to
get us back on solid financial footing, this means not just jobs but good paying jobs. The infrastructure
of the state is also in need of some serious work roads, bridges, schools to mention just a few.
We have about 700,000 veterans in the state and with the wars in the Middle East more coming, they
will need services. We need people in Olympia like Tom that understand this and are working hard to
get this done." - Ted Wicorek, Vietnam Veteran, Special Forces MACV SOG
"Tom Campbell is a strong, independent leader. He puts the people of the 2nd District first and
petty partisanship last." - Brian Sonntag-D, State Auditor
"Tom Campbell has a unique ability to concern himself with long range matters as well as current
headline situations like the meth epidemic that he helped confront in our recent past.
While many chose to look the other way, he has openly discussed his concern that planning for a
mudflow event from Mt Rainier should not be ignored. On that subject he has supported Bridge for
Kids in our efforts to advance the discussion and perhaps provide better solutions for lahar
evacuation in this region that are currently in place. He believes that waiting for more time to
pass could prove regrettable.
None of know when a lahar may happen, but we're sure glad Tom is on our side to help assist in
creating a response." - Chuck Morrison, Orting
"Tom Campbell has been a consistent and strong voice for the 2nd LD. He recognizes the immense
diversity within the communities and continues to keep open minded in his work in Olympia. Tom
Campbell is a friend to public education, which I especially appreciate. Send Tom back to
Olympia because he truly represents the values of the 2nd LD. Cindy Poysnick School Director
Puyallup SD #3" - Cindy Poysnick, Puyallup
"We can all thank Representative Campbell for the passage of the Meth Bill
that eliminated 80% of the Meth lab incidents in Washington State.
Governors and Attorneys General from other states called saying if this law
could just pass in Washington State, it would be the catalyst needed for it
to extend throughout the nation. We knew it would save thousands of families
and billions of taxpayer dollars. Because of Tom's experience and
determination, and in spite of angering powerful lobbyists, the bill passed.
Tom Campbell does what is right for his district, regardless of party and
special interest lobbyists." - Barbara Dolan, Co-founder, Community Action Team,
Republican, Roy
I’m Chuck Craig and I have resided in Tom Campbell’s district for 12 plus years. I am now retired
from a 35 year Coast Guard career. I hold no party affiliation but I am conservative. Tom has
represented me and his constituents well these past years in Olympia and he gets better each and
every year. He looks out for people, supports and fights for good legislation and what is right
to better the people of Washington and his district. He supports good education for our children
and is sensitive to their welfare.
Tom is a stout Constitutionalist and a true patriot. He has proudly served in the Armed Forces
He understands and is sensitive of the forces that are working against good government and the
people of the state. He knows what”We, the People” truly means. I have volunteered to campaign
for Tom this year as I feel it is vital that he be returned to Olympia and represent us for another
term. This state is in one heck of a mess due to the one sided brand of politics of the past. I feel
there is no better representative than Tom Campbell to fight the good fight and help to straighten
the state house. As a fellow veteran, I am very proud to be a member on the Tom Campbell team. -
Chuck Craig, Coast Guard Veteran, Independent Conservative, Graham
"I support Tom Campbell because he's an independent thinker and because he has done superb work
protecting the health of our families, communities, and environment from toxics. As chairman of
the House Environmental Health Committee, Tom was instrumental in banning toys that contain harmful
lead and cadmium, and in prohibiting sale of baby bottles made with the toxin bisphenol-A. We can
count on Tom to keep our environment safe and healthy for future generations." - Jim DiPeso, Republican, Shoreline
"Representative Campbell is one of the most approachable legislator's I have had the pleasure of
dealing with. He listens and fights for the people in the 2nd district. Thank you Rep. Campbell!!!!"
- Rebecca McCabe, Republican, Graham
"I know this man got us our by-pass road, finally, when the Gov. said there wasn't the funding. He
does wonders for the people of Yelm and Roy." - Christine Stearns, Independent, McKenna
