Matheson later said she intends to bring "good fami- ly-wage jobs while still pro- tecting the quality of life" people in Klickitat County hold dear. Alongside jobs, Matheson said that the healthcare system is "bro- ken" and a big issue for her candidacy. "Let my record speak," Matheson later told the Sentinel.
