My heartfelt thanks to all who supported me in my run for Lewis County coroner. A very special thanks to all who worked so hard on my behalf.\u00a0 You were the backbone of my campaign.<\/p>\n

I consider myself a big winner in my first step into the political arena even though I lost the election. I met many wonderful people whom I will always hold dear and always work to defend.<\/p>\n

I will remain involved in our political process and will continue to work hard to ensure it meets the needs of our people.<\/p>\n

Elections are very divisive. I think we need to not only practice unity – not diversity – but to succeed at it.<\/p>\n

We need to abandon the failed concept of political correctness. It is killing our nation and is not grounded in reality. We can honor our individual heritages by enjoying the humorous side of our different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. In the end, none of it will matter if we lose our core values and national identity.<\/p>\n

You are all invited to join Carol and me for “Conversations Among Friends” – as a way to say “thanks for your support” – to be held on Saturday, November 27th from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at the Veterans’ Memorial Museum, 100 Veterans’ Way, Chehalis, Wash. Light snacks provided; great conversations anticipated. Won’t you join us?<\/p>\n

Micheal and Carol Hurley<\/p>\n
