Administrative Assistant to Jim McCune
Endorses Pierce County Councilman Jim McCune for State Senate 2nd LD District
It’s been a great privilege working for Jim McCune as his Administrative Assistant. For nearly 15 years, I have worked side by side with Jim. Before, as a former State Representative and now, as the current Pierce County Councilman. He has work hard to protect your individual, constitutional rights and your property rights.
Jim has owned a successful business for over 50 years. He understands firsthand how the pressures of regulatory burdens affect businesses and families. He works hard to support families, seniors, veterans and businesses. He fights against government waste.
Jim will vote against any new taxes and oppose any government invasion of privacy. He will continue to fight against human trafficking, just as he did as the Chair of Pierce County’s Public Safety Committee. Jim passed an ordinance to ban heroin injections sites in Pierce County and will fight against the lawless thinking that permeates Olympia. My boss will always keep his word and fight for government to live within its means

Puyallup Resident 25+ years
"In this rapidly changing world, it is becoming rare to find someone who is as dedicated to the preservation of rights of We The People. In dealing with the lawless issues that have enveloped our neighborhood and community, Jim McCune told us he will never give up on us. And as it is with people who put a value on integrity, he has shown to be true to his word."
Carl E. Truman
Spanaway Resident 35+ years
"I contacted Councilman McCune last fall concerning a drug house on Spanaway Loop Road. Within days, he was able to have the home posted and condemned. Shortly thereafter, the residents were evicted and the house was boarded up. He is working daily to remove drug houses and to clean up abandoned and neglected homes in the Spanaway area."
