At the July 12, 2022 monthly meeting, the Franklin County Republican Party voted to endorse JOE COTTA for State Representative 8th District, Position 2.

Richland Firefighters IAFF Local 1052’s membership took action to support and endorse Joe Cotta for State Legislature.

"Of all the people I have ever known Joe Cotta is one of the most conservative, patriotic Republicans I have ever met. He honors the constitution and I believe he will never stop fighting to protect our conservative American Judeo-Christian Values. Joe Cotta has my full endorsement in his run for a position in the Washington State House of Representatives. "

It is my honor to give my full support and endorsement to Joe Cotta for State Representative in Washington’s 8th legislative district. I have had the privilege of getting to know Joe personally through our shared faith in Christ, love for country and the great state of Washington. I am thrilled that Joe has made the choice to step up and serve his district and our state in this way. Joe is a family man with strong conservative values. At a time when our nuclear family is under attack by the left from our babies in the womb to our children being indoctrinated in government schools, we need a representative that will fight fiercely to protect the family and parental rights. For years we have seen Washington Democrats pass anti-family, anti-parent legislation and we need strong conservatives in the legislature to fight against this. I have no doubt Joe will do just that when he is elected to our state legislature. The 8th LD will be fortunate to have Joe Cotta working on their behalf in Olympia. Joe’s knowledge of agriculture and region-specific issues is unmatched. As we see our freedoms and Constitutional Rights being attacked at every turn, Joe will fight for us, and he won’t back down. Joe is kind and compassionate, yet firm and unwavering. Voters can count on Joe to be a man of integrity and be true to his word once he is elected to office.

"Joe Cotta has been impressive to me since the first day I met him. He speaks up for what is right and has integrity and kindness while doing it. I am thankful for the way Joe puts God first and family and freedom a close second. He is a man of integrity and goodness and I am honored with ways he has supported me on our school board. May our loving Father in Heaven bless you for your time and sacrifice Joe! You absolutely have my vote and my endorsement for state representative!"

I endorse and support Joe Cotta because he is an unwavering constitutional, Christian conservative, who is unafraid to stand strong for American values. We need a State Representative with the intestinal fortitude and personal courage to push back against the liberal agenda, which is harming communities across the state and right here in the 8th Legislative District. Joe Cotta is an intelligent man of character, who understands that he represents and works for the citizens of this beautiful community. He is a patriot of the people, by the people, and when elected; for the people. God bless you, Joe!

I’ve known Joe for 9 years and found him to be a man of integrity and intelligence with a real, practical wisdom. I know of his concern for our state’s cultural, financial and political well being. He’s a great proponent of individual rights, as well as having a no nonsense attitude toward the many over the top mandates and legislative over reaches that have taken place in Washington in the last decade. Our state is becoming steadily more repressive and Joe is the man to stand up to the constant anti liberty drumbeat of the opposition. I believe him to be a great candidate to lead Washington both morally and politically. He’s a great family man, a man of faith and, I believe, an ideal candidate for State Representative. He has my enthusiastic support."

He consistently participates and publicly speaks at our annual winegrower conferences. He advocates for agriculture, making several trips to Olympia on behalf of winegrowers and has hosted legislative events at the vineyard to teach agriculture to those on the west side, who have little exposure to it.
