The Yakima Valley is known for its conservative nature. But the politicians we elect must be able to work with the more liberal Democrats from the Seattle area who control the Legislature and the governor’s office. Rep. Jeremie Dufault of the 15th District can do that.

With 36 candidates running for governor this year, it can be confusing to keep track of their positions and know who to support. I am voting for Dr. Raul Garcia for Governor for several reasons.

There’s an old saying: If you want something done, ask a busy person. Jeremie Dufault is living proof of that.

When landlords were under fire in Olympia earlier this year, we went to Rep. Jeremie Dufault from Selah for help.

As the primary election nears, I wish to express support for Dr. Raul Garcia for Governor.

A lot of people here in Sunnyside even though if they are masked up, what I’ve experienced going to the stores is people really do not care about social distancing.

When Jeremie Dufault knocked on my door last year, I knew he would be a good state representative. And he has been. He works hard and does a good job.

I am glad to support Jeremie Dufault for re-election as state representative.

Lots of things are happening in 2020, bad things. From global warming, to racism to COVID-19. Which got me thinking, what can I do now that will help our earth and our community?

To the Editor of the Sunnyside Sun:

On Monday April 20, my husband Lloyd turned 90.

I am an 85-year-old, who was one of the first on Feb. 27, to get the virus. I did not go to the hospital or the doctor, however, I did spend six days on my back. My wife had it as well but just a minor case.

On Thursday, April 16, we had mail and prescription heart medicine stolen from our mailbox. The next day, a Deputy brought to our home the torn package and crumpled, dirty mail.

The current COVID-19 pandemic has caused much anxiety and heartache. We sympathize with the victims and their families and pray for their comfort and recovery wherever possible. We are also grateful for all those who care for those affected.

Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in the United States, many citizens have been advised to stay home and others have no choice due to unemployment and the statewide Stay-at-Home Order. While this is great to reduce the spread of the virus it has also increased cases of domestic violence within homes in the United States.
