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!
A Fourth Generation Nevadan
John Oceguera was born in Reno and raised in Fallon, Nevada, a small agricultural and military town east of Reno. Raised by a single mother, the family did not have much, but it was a home filled with love and perseverance. As the Oceguera family struggled to get by, John suffered from a medical condition that required him to wear special leg braces and corrective shoes. Along with the help of friends and neighbors, his mom worked hard to help him get the treatment he needed.
Growing up, John developed a strong sense of community, responsibility, and hard work — and the importance of giving all of our children the opportunity to succeed. Starting in junior high school, John helped to support his family and worked his way through school by mowing lawns, umpiring ball games, and working at an ice plant, pizza parlor, and a disposal company – whatever it took to contribute to the family savings. He graduated with a Fire Science degree from Cogswell College before going on to earn both a Master’s degree in Public Administration and a Law degree from the University of Nevada Las Vegas.
A Leader for Nevada’s Future
John Oceguera learned about public service from his mother, a school teacher. That spirit of service and pride in our country was further instilled by the Naval Air Station Fallon, home of the Naval Fighter Weapons School, known as Top Gun. John became a firefighter, first in the fire service at the Naval Air Station Fallon Fire Department, thereafter moving on to the North Las Vegas Fire Department. Over the years, John rose through the ranks of fire fighter, paramedic, engineer, captain, battalion chief, and finally, Assistant Fire Chief.
This steadfast belief led him to become a strong, independent voice for our area in the Nevada State Assembly. John was elected to Nevada Assembly District 16 in 2000, and quickly rose through ranks of Assembly leadership, ultimately being elected unanimously to the Speaker of the Nevada Assembly. John has taken on the tough fights – creating jobs, improving education, and ensuring that our next generation has an even better chance to make it in Nevada.
John is running for Congress because it is time we had someone who will stand up to Washington and fight for what is right. He took on the special interests in Carson City and will be just as tough on Washington. At a time when many in Washington are trying to take away seniors’ hard-earned right to Medicare to give special tax breaks to multi-national oil companies and massive insurance companies, John Oceguera is tough enough to fight for us.
