  House Candidate Tim Knue to Host Community Forum 
  Tim Knue, a candidate for State House of Representative in District 10, will hold a community forum and informal rally at the Farmhouse Restaurant in Mount Vernon on Saturday, May 3.

My approach in this campaign and as a legislator will be to listen to the people, learn from history and from their input, make thoughtful decisions, and then lead with diligence and confidence,” said Knue. 
  If elected, Knue pledges to work for better funding of basic education, fight to limit taxes, invest in job training and make health care affordable and make sure new growth reflects the character of our communities.
