I’m pleased to let people in our community know that Larry Kalb, Democratic candidate for U.S. House of Representatives in our district, is receiving endorsements. Among them are:
1. Washington State Progressive Caucus
2. Laura Bonham, Deputy Director, Progressive Democrats of America
3. Dr. John Geyman, Professor Emeritus, UW, Family Medicine, Friday Harbor
4. David Swanson, Co-Founder, WarIsACrime.org
5. Bill Moyer, Executive Director, The Backbone Campaign
6. Sally Hewitt, former Editor, Whatcom Watch, Bellingham
7. Charles Law, Vice President, United for National Healthcare, Bellingham
8. Gene Knutson, Bellingham City Councilman
9. Stan Snapp, Bellingham City Councilman
10. Jack Weiss, Bellingham City Councilman
Judith Shattuck, Chair of the Washington State Progressive Caucus said, “Larry is a hard worker and genuine good guy. His guiding principles are truly progressive. His election will signal change inside the beltway.”
Councilman Snapp said, “Larry is a long time friend and a ‘real Democrat.‘ I’m happy to support Larry because he brings great integrity to his pursuits.”
Councilman Knutson told the Bellingham Herald, “I have known Larry for a long time and have been impressed with his commitment to service. He has a long history of trying to help people in this community. I feel Larry will give Bellingham and all the hard working citizens of the 2nd Congressional District a voice on all the issues we face everyday.”
I became Larry’s campaign manager because I believe we need real leadership in Congress that makes the needs of the people in our country a much higher priority. I’ve known Larry since 2004. I know his strong commitment to the well-being of people.
Larry was instrumental in passing the first resolution in Washington State against the Iraq war. He was a board member of Health Care for All Washington for six years and served as its president from 2008 until his candidacy. Unlike the incumbent, when Larry is in Congress, he won’t give in to special interests, big banks, or support open-ended wars. Larry is loyal to the people, not to corporate profits.
