State Representative Larry Springer formally announced his bid for reelection.
Springer has been active in the community for more than two decades, first as a Kirkland City Council member and later as mayor. Under Springer's leadership, Kirkland successfully managed a $5 million budget shortfall by streamlining departments, not cutting services and not raising taxes. He was elected to the Legislature in 2004.
He was successful in passing affordable housing legislation and voted to fully fund K-12 education and sponsored legislation to invest in record school construction.
Springer has owned The Grape Choice wine shop in downtown Kirkland for more than 20 years. He lives in Kirkland with his wife Penny and their two golden retrievers, Pinot and Beaune. For more information, see www.larryspringer.org.
