“I’ve got two daughters in middle school right now, and I know how important providing a good education is to parents, our local communities, and our entire state,” Rolfes said in a press release. “It’s an honor to help lead the committee that will take on the issues facing our education system.
“We all want clean skies, clean waters and well-managed natural resources. In Kitsap County, we know that a strong transportation system is the bedrock of our economy. I look forward to representing the people of the 23rdDistrict on the committees that will address the challenges ahead in these critical areas.”
