Many of us have family members, friends or neighbors who are either suffering from or caring for a loved-one with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or other mental disability. For those who have experienced the frightening circumstances of that loved one getting lost, the Silver Alert system is a much-needed life-line. It is a public notification system designed to help locate missing and endangered seniors.
It's no surprise that State Rep. Sherry Appleton sponsored the bill which led to its creation. Rep. Appleton has always supported the most vulnerable among us, especially the elderly and those with mental disability. She will continue to defend funding for health and human services, advocating for programs that matter in our community.
Please join me in voting for and keeping Sherry Appleton as our Washington State Representative for the 23rd District.
