The Seattle Times: “For the past four years, state Rep. Drew Stokesbary has served as…a strong advocate for government accountability. Stokesbary has proved an especially effective lawmaker who also fits his district. Voters in the 31st District should re-elect him to a third term.”

The News Tribune: “When [Rep. Stokesbary] votes, it generally comes after thoughtful consideration. He’s agile on an array of issues, from health care to transportation with an ear tuned to middle-class concerns.
