Statement in Support of Leslie Daugs
February 5, 2017
To whom this concerns,
This letter is in support of Bremerton City Councilwoman Leslie Daugs. Leslie has shown excellent leadership in her position on the Bremerton council. In addition, Kitsap County Democrats have voted her as a Vice Chair. We, the Executive Board and members of the 26th Legislative District Democrats, support Leslie Daugs’ exemplary involvement in our community.
In both the city council and the state-party positions Leslie Daugs has comported herself with grace and dignity. She represents the interest of working people and businesses in Bremerton and in Kitsap County, helping them in bettering their lives through her service. Her efforts in revitalizing the business climate along Wheaton Way in Bremerton is just one example.
Recently, Leslie participated at a local Kitsap County Democratic Party function. She impressed everyone there as being very knowledgeable about Bremerton and Kitsap County issues, as well as being very informed on state and national concerns. Her ability to comprehend this wide view of public matters makes her a unique and valuable asset in local politics.
Thank you for taking a moment to read this letter of support for Leslie Daugs. She has done good work in her past six years on the Bremerton city council. She is a bright star in public administration—join us in supporting her future efforts.
Sincerely,
Executive Board and members
Washington 26th Legislative District Democrats
