Story
Metropolitan King County Council Vice Chair Reagan Dunn released this statement after today’s announcement that Congressman Dave Reichert will not run for reelection:“I want to offer my congratulations to Dave Reichert for his many years of service to our community in the United States Congress--and before that as King County Sheriff. He has done a terrific job and I am very proud of what he has accomplished for all of us.
“Serving in Congress is very challenging and I watched my late mother, Jennifer Dunn, fight many battles there, as Dave has.
“But the environment in Congress has become increasingly challenging for our elected leaders. I commend my friend for working on our behalf during this unusually toxic time in Washington DC.
“To you Dave: you have done a great job and I am very proud to call you my friend. I also want to say a heartfelt thank you to your family for supporting you during your service in Congress. We all owe them a debt of gratitude as well.
“I wish you the very best in your future endeavors. If retirement is part of the plan, you certainly deserve it.”
