Attorney General Rob McKenna, Dino Rossi, Kathy Lambert,
and elected officials, individuals and families throughout the 45th district and across
Washington
Many organizations, elected officials, families, and
individuals with a broad variety of interests have pledged their support to Toby
during his 2008 campaign for State Representative.
Click here to see Toby’s Endorsements from the 2006, 2004, and 2002 campaigns.
“Toby Nixon, R-Kirkland, is our choice in Position 1. Nixon served in the
state House from 2002 to 2007 when he failed in a bid for a Senate seat.
Nixon is one of the smartest minds on critical issues of the day, ranging
from renewable energy to transparency in government.
“As head of the Washington Coalition for Open Government, a private, nonprofit
government watchdog, Nixon served as the public’s conscience opposing efforts
by government agencies to conceal their activities.” -- Seattle Times Editorial Board
“Your support of the veterinarians' important role in agriculture,
public health, and in the lives of the pet-owning public is greatly appreciated.” -- Christopher Wenrick, DVM, Chair, WSVMA-PAC
“In making its endorsement, the National
Federation of Independent Business Washington SAFE Trust, the
political-action committee of NFIB/Washington, the state’s largest
small-business advocacy organization, praised Nixon for his
100-percent
score on the NFIB SAFE Trust candidate questionnaire. Endorsements for
incumbents are based on support or opposition to 15 bills in the 2007
and 2008 sessions of the Legislature that were important to small business.
The bills can be viewed at
http://www.nfib.com/page/homeWA.html.
Legislative incumbents must have a 70-percent or better pro-small-business
voting record in order to be eligible for an endorsement from the NFIB/Washington
SAFE Trust. Goodman did not meet that level.” -- Troy Nichols, Washington State Director, NFIB

David Carson, Redmond City Council
“There is no one I would recommend more highly for his
incredible grasp of the problems facing our state and his practical and powerful
ideas on how to address those problems than Toby Nixon. Toby understands issues
in such depth and totality that it's quite possible that he is the best mind ever
to have served in the Washington State Legislature. Where Kathy Lambert was the
hardest-working legislator for her legendary work ethic ever to serve the 45th
District, Toby has to be the hardest-thinking representative. You ask him about
anything affecting the State of Washington and he knows it absolutely cold.
He also knows the challenges of ordinary people because he is one of those people.
He gets up, goes to work every day, raises a family and still has time to be
completely knowledgeable on today's political issues. He is indeed a rare breed and
having him back representing the cities of Duvall and Carnation as well as parts of
Redmond, Kirkland, and Woodinville down in Olympia would be of tremendous benefit to
those cities.
I can think of no one I'd rather have making the important decisions in Olympia than Toby Nixon.” -- Redmond City Councilmember David Carson
Gérard Cattin, Duvall City Council
“Toby Nixon is a sensible conservative
who understands how to get things done. Working with Toby while
he was in the state legislature made a big difference for the
city of Duvall. I wholeheartedly support his candidacy,
and hope you will support his as well.” -- Duvall City Councilmember Gérard Cattin

“Toby Nixon is an extremely dedicated,
honest and hard working public servant. His principled service has
won the admiration of Republicans, Democrats and Independents. He is
one of the most thoughtful, least partisan and most independent legislators
Olympia has seen in recent years.” -- Bothell Mayor Mark Lamb
Kathy Lambert, King County Council and Former State Representative, 45th District
“Toby is a well respected leader by members of the
House of Representatives on both sides of the aisle. He is intelligent and does
his research to be sure that he is well versed on all topics. He communicates well
with his constituents and has developed their trust which is a most important aspect
of being an outstanding elected official.
Toby works hard and gets things done. He led and was part of many important pieces
of legislation to make life better for the citizens of this state. I worked with
Toby on many issues and he was always responsive, helpful and organized to get things
done. We need Toby's leadership in Olympia.” -- King County Councilmember Kathy Lambert

Rob McKenna, Attorney General
Cathy McMorris-Rodgers, Member of Congress
“We haven't had new
leadership in Olympia for over two decades and we need

electing Dino Rossi as governor this year, we need to
elect qualified candidates to the state legislature --
legislators who will help bring changes we need
including creating a better business climate, improving
our schools, and supporting our Washington values. You
are just the person to do that.” -- Congresswoman Cathy McMorris-Rodgers

volume and quality of work that he does on behalf of those he serves.” -- Jeffrey Possinger

“Toby was a very effective state representative.
He studied every bill with detail and has been a leader in ensuring an open
government. He also introduced legislation dealing with hi-tech topics like
identity theft and email spamming/phishing that enabled law enforcement agencies
to acts on these crimes. He has impeccable integrity, extremely intelligent and
has his heart on the right issues. I have no reservations in recommending him.” -- Pedro Celis, Redmond, former member, President's

“The Municipal League
has done a great job to give us insight and history
of all the candidates from all parties. The candidates
are questioned on four areas of criteria: Knowledge,
Involvement, Effectiveness and Character. These interviews
are a much better insight into the candidate then what they
hand you at your doorstep. After reading about the four
gentlemen who are wanting to represent my family in the 45th
District, I support Larry Springer (D) and Toby Nixon (R).
These men have shown a true sense of what it means to
represent people. Want good Government? So do I.” -- John Dick, Owner, Golden Steer Choice Meats
