Rep. John McCoy

February 24, 2012 – Legislative Session Update

Greetings! Thank you so much for stopping by my Web page today.

I’m very honored to help represent the Everett, Marysville and Tulalip families and businesses of our 38th Legislative District. There’s no getting around the fact that issues in the Legislature involve every Snohomish County neighborhood. Our towns have a lot at stake in the decision-making process that goes on in the Legislature and in the rest of state government.

Now more than ever, I’m committed to finding efficient strategies for:

♦ Expandable technology – so families in all corners of our state have access to the indispensable tools of the 21st century.

♦ Affordable energy – so citizens can count on a safe, trustworthy supply of resources in their homes and in their businesses.

♦ Commendable schools – so young people can earn skills needed to obtain and retain a good career.

♦ Dependable jobs – so working folks don’t have to worry that their next paycheck will end up being their last paycheck.

♦ Reliable health care – so senior citizens and other families aren’t financially ruined when they need to obtain prescriptions and other medical care.

Please don’t hesitate to write or call whenever you have comments or questions. Without your participation, the process won’t work the way it’s supposed to work!

Brooke Waite, my legislative assistant, and I look forward to reading and hearing your comments.

All the best,

Rep. John McCoy

State Representative
