Pete DeBoer offers a different approach
KINGSTON — Pete DeBoer thinks something is askew in Washington and he is setting out to fix it. The impetus for involvement that goes beyond his current slot on the Kingston Port Commission was Boeing’s decision to open a new aircraft assembly plant in North Charleston, S.C.

As a small business owner with an extensive background in government service—DeBoer sold Olympic Print Resources in August 2008 and served in the U.S. Coast Guard for 22 years—he said his experience in dealing with business issues and bureaucracy makes him an ideal candidate for the state assembly.
