David is one of those rare candidates who can see old issues through fresh eyes.  He will bring a nonpartisan, no-nonsense perspective that is desperately needed in Olympia today.

Senator Craig Pridemore, 49th Legislative District 

As an economist, David Carrier knows the value of investing in our future. Whether it be education, transportation or health care; David is committed to providing leadership on the tough issues.

Representative Deb Wallace, 17th Legislative District

There are key decisions that need to be made regarding how our state faces some critical challenges ahead. We need leaders who will listen to us, carry forward our values and priorities, and make informed decisions.  I am supporting David Carrier because he has integrity, vision, and he listens to the people of this district.

Dena Horton, Chair, Clark County Democrats

I'm proud to endorse David Carrier as our next State Senator in the 17th District.  David's background is uniquely suited to solving problems for the citizens of Southwest Washington.  His insights into economic development and infrastructure investment are exactly what's needed in these uncertain economic times.

Chris Bassett - former Chair, Clark County Democrats

David understands leadership is about us, not him.  Carrier's extensive knowledge of economics combined with his strong connection to everyday people means he will be one great Washington State Senator!

John Howes, CPA- former Chair, 17th Legislative District Democrats

In all my years of civic involvement and working in the community, I have met very few people who combine a compassionate spirit together with knowledge about how the world works as well as David Carrier does. I know that he will be an advocate for all of us in Olympia, especially those who have no voice. I strongly and enthusiastically endorse David Carrier for State Senate in the 17th Legislative District.

Tom Iberle, 573 Precinct Officer, 17th L.D. and SW WA Ecumenical Community Action Network 

I'm supporting David because he truly understands the meaning of the WE in public service. He understands the plight of those less fortunate in this country and around the world. He understands how the war impacts our economy and how wrong it is to continue supporting the occupation of Iraq. He knows about problems with housing because he has been on the front lines endeavoring to make affordable housing available to people in Clark County. He knows how to listen and communicate with constituents. I am proud to know him and and know that he will represent the 17th District extremely well as its Senator in Olympia.

Marion Ward, 563 Precinct Officer, 17th L.D.

It's like a breath of fresh air to know that we can elect someone who understands what the problems are and how to do something about them. By electing David, these better things can happen. Thank you for running for Senator.

Carolyn Wolin, MoveOn Chair and 662 Precinct Officer, 17th L.D.

It is my pleasure to endorse David Carrier for the Senate representing the 17th District.  He is committed to support education, human  development and affordable health care.  David provides many thought  provoking ideas on how Clark County could benefit from renewable energy, environmental protection, and expanded regional infrastructure. It's time Olympia had an educated person representing us. It's time to elect someone who truly understands the economy- because if we simply break this down, "It's about the economy!" We don't need four more years of the same politics. It's time Clark County deserves a fresh new change. I feel David can lead us to this change.

Debora Supplitt, M.Ed., 677 Precinct Officer, 17th L.D.

David Carrier has the drive and the compassion to help make Clark County into a real community, one that works for all the people, not just the few.  It's time to take back the State Senate seat for the 17th Legislative District and make it responsive to the needs of everyone who lives and works in Clark County.

Debra Di Piazza, Obama Delegate

David is the kind of candidate I am willling to support. His back ground in public service is awesome and his economic credentials are impressive.

Julie McBride, 683 Precinct Officer, 17th L.D.

I met Dave Carrier at the District Caucus in April.  He was the only candidate to walk up and introduce himself. He expressed interest the delegates and their reason for being at the caucus and for being involved in the political process.  I find this refreshing in a politician.  He is not judgmental and carefully considers all input.  As a state senator I feel he would do a great job of representing the 17th District.

Les Stephens, Obama Delegate

I met David at Interfaith meetings for peace and justice and found him to be sensitive to issues of hunger, justice and peace, as well as having worked to solve these issues. He is a progressive leader whom I recommend voting for in the primary and the general election. 

Genny Kortes, WA Green Party, 17th L.D.

I strongly urge you to support David Carrier for the State Senate in District 17.  He will serve the district well through his experience as a legislative advocate for economic issues and social issues. 

Donna Roberge, Southwest WA Ecumenical Community Action Network

I am proud to endorse David Carrier for State Senate. I believe he is the person to fight for social and environmental justice for the State of Washington.

Jo'an Sterr, Southwest WA Ecumenical Community Action Network 

David always wanted to make a difference.  He spent three years in Burkina Faso after graduating from the University of Maryland.  When he returned he received a scholarship from Notre Dame and worked very hard to earn his Ph.D. degree. He will work just as hard for his constituents. He will be an excellent State Senator and will make a  difference. I am proud of my son!

Grace Carrier, David's mother

I am 100% supportive of my brother’s campaign for State Senate.  He cares passionately for the welfare of the disadvantaged, who are seldom presented with the same opportunities as the privileged.  He will strive to secure a better future for those who need it most, and will act on the need for greater equality of opportunity. He embodies a new era of hope and of change that life can and will be better, which this country so desperately needs today at every level of government. He will serve his constituents with spirit and integrity in this challenging time.

James Carrier,  IT Strategy Consultant  

How lucky can the 17th District Democrates get!  David is a spirited charger in all that he does.  He's a man of integrity and his heart and head are together. I've known him for several years, worked with him on occassion. He's real, sees through superficialities, and isn't afraid to work hard and long for what he believes in.  He can rescue the 17th from Don Benton. Go for it David!  Thanks for daring to run and charge!
