The Tacoma News Tribune published its endorsements in the 31st Legislative District for the upcoming 2024 primary election and Drew Stokesbary once again earned their support.
Here are a few snippets from the editorial:
It’s not hard to understand why Stokesbary’s GOP colleagues selected him for the important position [of House Republican Leader].
In a two-candidate race headed straight for general election ballots in November, it’s probably the same reason Stokesbary again earns the TNT Ed Board’s strong endorsement this year.
…Stokesbary maintains a boy-wonder air, even if the absurdity of the notion is defied by the former King County Council policy aide’s slowly graying hair and experience in the state capitol.

Over the last decade, Stokesbary has become one of the most respected members of either chamber or party, particularly when it comes to budgetary matters and the finer points of actually getting things done in the state Legislature — which, as it turns out, is fairly important.

In the view of the TNT Ed Board, Stokesbary deserves voters’ continued support.
