There is something happening in America. These past two years we have seen great change in this country. Our beliefs and our resolve has been tested by the division around us.
There is something happening in America when millions of people across our country are coming out in protest of a government they feel doesn’t represent them. There is something happening in America when people feel the need to pour into the streets in numbers that we haven’t seen in generations to fight for the rights that are being taken away from them every day.
There is something happening in America when so many people who have never participated in politics before are anxiously counting down to election day because they know how important it is.
There is something happening in America, and there is something happening in Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. We as a people are ready to take our country back, and we as Washingtonians our ready to take our district back from those who are not properly representing us. David McDevitt is the candidate to do that. He is the candidate who believes in putting people first.
During his campaign for Washington’s 3rd Congressional seat, McDevitt has held nearly 75 community chats and town halls to gauge public perception on a variety of issues in an age when our representatives are afraid to talk to us and to be held accountable.
McDevitt knows that putting people first means considering health care a universal human right, and that everyone should receive quality care. Putting people first means building an economy for the 99 percent, not just those who work on Wall Street.
Putting people first means addressing the issues of equality, the concerns of every woman around us, of communities of color, of the LGBTQ communites, and of our veterans, who should never feel insecure.
The problems we face today are not going to be solved with simple solutions. They are moral problems that are held within all of us, and we need someone with great morals to help solve them. McDevitt is that man. He is the candidate that is putting people first.
