Claudia Kauffman

The Experienced Leader Our Community Needs

“Back in 2006, this south King County district elected Claudia Kauffman to serve as the first Native American woman in the state Senate. We want her back in Olympia because she proved herself to be more knowledgeable on the issues... We also think Kauffman’s positions on those issues will make the 47th a greener, more affordable place to live.”
