Russell Report  Jon
Russell - One of select few awarded at Clark County Annual NRA
Banquet WASHOUGAL- Jon Russell, Republican for State Representative District 18, was awarded at the National Rifle Association's recent Clark County banquet, as a token of their appreciation for his service to the organization. "As a member of the National Rifle Association, I am grateful to be recognized by my fellow-members with this award. The second amendment to the Constitution is a vital part of the fabric of who we are as a nation. As an elected official, I swore an oath to defend the constitution. It isn't a coincidence that our founders thought it necessary to place the right to bear arms as the 2nd amendment to our Constitution. They understood that freedom can only be preserved when the people have the right to defend their persons and property," said Russell. In addition to being a member of the NRA, who enjoys hunting when the occasion presents itself, Jon is a concealed carry permit holder. Jon serves as Mayor Pro Tem on the Washougal city council and he understands that gun owners care deeply about public safety, private property and the rule of law. This is reflected in several of his accomplishments, as a city legislator. One example is that he sponsored and passed e-verify, to assure that taxpayer money does not end up in the hands of contractors who hire illegal aliens. He also voted to place a full-time police officer in local schools, to ensure public safety. And, Jon has shown that he is a staunch supporter of property rights, by voting against eminent domain every time. It's good to know that Jon will take the same attitudes, that produced his conservative voting record, to put them to work for us in the State Legislature. Jon & his wife Sarah, own Columbia Gorge Medical Center, an urgent and family care clinic. Jon has served on the City Council since 2006 and has been elected twice with the overwhelming support of the voters. Jon is running for the open seat being vacated by State Representative Jaime Herrera.For more information, please contact Gary Wiram at 360-281-0237 or log on to www.electjonrussell.com
