Back Raines in Sunnyside

To the editor — Jason Raines is running for Sunnyside City Council, Position 5.

Jason believes public safety should be the No. 1 priority of local government. A community thrives only when its citizens are able to live and work in safe neighborhoods, not fearing for the safety of their children, homes and businesses. Jason will work hard to achieve safety for all Sunnyside citizens, which is why he has earned the endorsement of the Sunnyside Police Officers Guild.

As a former Army captain, Jason knows firsthand how to be a team player, and that goals are accomplished only when people work together. Jason will work tirelessly with other Yakima Valley governments, as well as citizens and organizations within the Sunnyside community, to provide safe neighborhoods, quality infrastructure and a community people will be proud to call their home. A father of three, Jason cares about creating a great environment for Sunnyside’s youth.

Jason brings a no-nonsense approach to his decision-making, listens to all points of view and values everyone at the table. Jason Raines is exactly whom Sunnyside needs to move the community toward prosperity, and as a former Tieton mayor, I’m proud to endorse him for Sunnyside City Council, Position 5.
