Donor Bequeaths Generous Gift to WAGOP

Bellevue - The Washington State Republican Party (WAGOP) is pleased to announce that Peter Boonstra, a long-time Lynwood resident, US Army veteran, and Boeing engineer for 35 years, bequeathed a generous gift exceeding $500,000 to the Party, upon his passing.

The gift from Boonstra, who immigrated to the United States from the Netherlands, is a sterling endorsement of WAGOP’s strategy to fix what’s broken in Washington State. The timing is especially notable, as the gift was established soon after Chairman Jim Walsh secured his term as leader of WAGOP.

“We are profoundly grateful to Peter Boonstra for his magnanimous gift,” says WAGOP Chairman Walsh. “His generosity confirms that we are on the right path and that our efforts are being recognized. His donation provides us even more opportunities to continue our work, as it takes an abundance of resources to right the ship in Washington state—after decades of one-party Democrat rule. We hope other common-sense people will keep WAGOP in mind in the days, months, and years to come.”
