State Rep. Lovick gets nod for state Senate
MILL CREEK — State Rep. John Lovick emerged Sunday as the nearly unanimous choice of local Democrats to fill the Senate seat vacated by Steve Hobbs after his appointment to statewide office.
At a special meeting, Lovick received 49 of 50 votes cast by precinct committee officers. They were responsible for nominating three potential successors to Hobbs, now Washington’s secretary of state. The other nominees are Laura Hathaway and Greg Pratt, who both said they support Lovick.
“I’ve enjoyed my nearly 15 years in the state House of Representatives,” Lovick said. “I know I can make a difference in the state Senate.”
He said his focus is on “good, safe” schools and roads, and “jobs, jobs, jobs” with benefits.
