Former 7th District Sen. Scott Barr, wife
Dollie visit Olympia
Rep. Kretz hosts the couple, says
they have dedicated their lives to serving others
Representative Joel Kretz
welcomed former Sen. Scott Barr and his wife Dollie to Olympia the
week of Jan. 12. The distinguished guests took time to visit with Kretz
and others to reminisce about their time in Olympia, attend hearings and
track legislation that may impact the district.
Former Sen. Barr served in the state House from 1977 to 1982, and in the state
Senate from 1983 to 1993. He and Dollie worked as a team during his tenure in
Olympia. Barr, at 92-years-old, continues to serve on local committees
and boards.
"Both the Senator and his wife Dollie served Washington with distinction
and integrity," said Kretz, R-Wauconda. "They dedicated their lives to
serving others in our communities and our state, and I am so proud to
call them friends. It's remarkable that at his age, he is still working
to ensure better communities around Washington. Dignity, integrity, honesty and hard work are the
words that come to mind when Senator Scott Barr's name is mentioned. He
and his wife continue to be a shining example of the value of public
service."
Sen. Barr and Dollie remain active in the communities around the 7th
District and in legislative affairs.
