[img_assist|nid=933|title=U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen|desc=|link=none|align=right|width=145|height=196]Republican candidate Rick Bart may be a former sheriff, but he doesn't have all the law on his side. Today the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association endorsed incumbent Rep. Rick Larsen for Congress in the 2nd District.

"Endorsing Congressman Rick Larsen again was an easy decision for the Troopers Association board," said Tom Pillow, President of the Washington State Patrol Troopers Association. "He has been a friend with an open ear and open door during his entire tenure in the U.S. House of Representatives, always supporting public safety issues that are critical to every officer's personal and professional lives."

The Washington State Patrol Troopers Association represents more than 1,100 troopers, detectives, and sergeants in Washington. This is their third endorsement of Larsen.
