Rep. Jim Walsh Endorses Travis Couture for State House

Representative Jim Walsh, 19th LD

I'm happy to endorse Travis Couture in his campaign for the State House. He will serve the people of the 35th Legislative District effectively and well.

I've known Travis and worked with him for more than a decade. Travis IS the 35th District -- conservative to his bones, but also practical and results-oriented.

Travis isn't going to get caught up in political games. In Olympia, he's going to focus on what's best for the people and families of Mason, Thurston and Kitsap counties.

--WA Rep. Jim Walsh (LD19)

Couture Only Candidate to Receive "A" Rating From The NRA in 35th District Position 2 Race

Travis Couture has once again proudly received an "A" rating from the NRA. Travis knows how critical gun rights are to the 35th district. Whether for self defense or sportsmanship, gun rights are a part of our way of life in the 35th. He has a stellar record of advocating for gun rights, and will be a stalwart defender of your constitutional right to keep and bear arms.

Travis understands that one of our key rural values and traditions is safe and legal gun ownership, and he will join our other pro-gun 35th district Representatives to fight for you in Olympia.

Law Enforcement Endorses Couture

The Couture campaign is honored to receive the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police Olympic Mountain Lodge #23.

"As the President of Olympic Mountain Lodge #23 of the Fraternal Order of Police, the largest police organization in the country, I am proud to announce that the Fraternal Order of Police will provide our support and endorsement to Travis Couture for State Representative 35th District Position 2, " said President Tim Ripp in the letter of endorsement.

"Furthermore, Travis Couture has been steadfast in his support of law enforcement and their well-being. We now return the commitment he has shown to us by supporting his election campaign for State Representative 35th District Position 2."

Travis has been an outspoken supporter of first responders, and public safety a cornerstone of his campaign priorities, as short-sighted and radical laws passed by the majority party in the legislature have left communities across the 35th District vulnerable to high crime. He understands restoring public safety begins with giving law enforcement the respect they deserve, as well as the resources, tools, training, and facilities they need to do their job of protecting our community. Travis believes that a safe community requires a strong and robust law enforcement presence, and that by partnering with law enforcement, and listening to their needs, we can begin to safeguard the 35th District against rising crime.
