“I am withdrawing my candidacy with a heavy heart”, said Jodi Wilke, who is on the ballot for Representative 24th, District Pos 2.
She urges everyone to support Brian Pruiett.  “He is a fine person and will make an excellent Representative for our 24th District”, affirmed Wilke.
The 24th District reaches Clallam and Jefferson Counties as well as a large part of Grays Harbor County. The incumbent in the race is Democrat, Steve Tharinger.
“I appreciate all the support everyone has given me.  However, with all the factors in my personal life, I cannot devote 100 percent to this race.  It deserves all our efforts to beat the incumbent Democrats, for the sake of our District and our State”, declared Wilke.
