Dear Editor:

We are fortunate indeed to have a remarkably experienced and qualified candidate running for the State Senate this year. Danielle Garbe-Reser, was born, raised, and educated in Eastern Washington. On September 10, 2001, she began what would be a dozen years of advancing our country’s interests, at duty stations and embassies in the post 9/11 world. 

Stateside, she also served American interests in the White House during both Republican and Democratic administrations, serving on the Staff of Condolezza Rice at State and, later, on the National Security Council Staff.

In 2015, the Sherwood Trust selected her to be their CEO, charged with managing over $30 Million in assets. During her tenure, she oversaw a range of initiatives that created jobs, initiated cross-cultural initiatives and investments in Latino-serving non-profits. For her efforts in attracting over half a million dollars in new grants to the region she was recognized nationally with an award for “Outsized Impact” and a Philanthropy NW “Ambassador of the Year”.

In sum, I happily invite you to join us and mark your ballot to send this exceptional  woman to represent the interests of Eastern Washington in the State Senate.
