Jesse Young Endorsed by the Washington State Farm Bureau
June 12, 2012, Tacoma, WA – The Washington State Farm Bureau PAC endorsed Jesse Young
for Congress from Washington’s 6th Congressional District on Monday.
Washington Farm Bureau is a grassroots advocacy organization representing the social and
economic interests of farm and ranch families at the local, state and national levels. By
providing leadership and organizational skills, the Farm Bureau seeks to gain public support
on the issues affecting farm and ranch families. Farm Bureau has more than 40,000 member
households across the state.
Dan Wood, Farm Bureau’s associate director of government relations said “Jesse is a true
friend of the entrepreneur and small business. Our farmers and ranchers need representatives
in DC who know how business works and how government policies can impact them. Jesse
understands the needs of the 6th District and will represent us well in Congress.”
“I’m delighted to receive this show of support from the Farm Bureau,” said Jesse Young.
“Farmers and ranchers are the foundations of their communities and are important to the
economy of the 6th District. I look forward to working with them and representing them in
Washington, D.C..”
Jesse Young is leading the Republican field in endorsements. He’s the only candidate with an
official party endorsement - the Grays Harbor Republican Party gave its endorsement last fall
and provided an unprecedented show of support by adoption of a Resolution reaffirming that
endorsement at the County Convention this spring. He has received numerous endorsements
from elected officials and other candidates for office as well. Jesse Young has achieved “On
the Radar” status with the National Republican Congressional Committee’s Young Guns
program.
Jesse Young is a GOP candidate for the 6th Congressional District. He has built a strong grassroots
campaign and been endorsed by many Republican leaders. Young is also an Information Technology
consultant whose global business experience in a variety of industries will help the 6th District create
jobs for the 21st Century. Jesse grew up impoverished and sometimes homeless in Tacoma’s Hilltop
neighborhood, and now resides in Gig Harbor with his wife and five children.
