Washington State : Maria Cantwell is fighting for you … Rose Kapolczynski, Friends of Maria


You know that Maria Cantwell is fighting for you.

Today we’re sharing her record with every voter in Washington state, on the airwaves and online, as we launch our first campaign ad.

Maria wanted you to be among the first to see our ad, which focuses on Washington’s aerospace industry and Maria’s fight to keep our economy growing. Click here to watch it right now:

And after you’ve watched the video, please forward this email to five friends so that they can watch it, too!

Washington state is the hub of America‘s aerospace industry. More than 84,000 Washingtonians work in aerospace, and hundreds of thousands of jobs across the state depend on aerospace as well.

That’s why Maria has made it a top priority to see that aerospace isn’t just a tradition in Washington, but a vibrant part of our state’s future, too.

Maria has worked with community colleges to develop job retraining programs and helped Boeing win an Air Force contract that could mean up to 11,000 Washington jobs. And that’s why, from the start, she has made sure the deck isn’t stacked against Washington.

She’s worked with aviation leaders — from Everett to Yakima, from Spokane to Vancouver — to help Washington’s aerospace economy stay competitive and support jobs in communities across our state.

Watch Maria’s new ad, and see what she’s doing to keep Washington jobs in Washington!

While so much time in the “other” Washington is consumed with partisan bickering, Maria is focused on the work at hand: revitalizing our economy and making life better for families in Washington state.

As one of our strongest supporters, you already know Maria’s record of fighting for Washington state. With your help, we’ll be able to tell her positive story of accomplishment all over the state. We couldn’t do it without you.

Thank you,

Rose Kapolczynski  Senior Adviser  Friends of Maria

P.S. After voters watch our new ad, they’ll know why it’s so important to re-elect Maria to the Senate this November. Please help us spread this message throughout Washington by contributing now!
