Daniel Gomez's Special Visit (DOL)

Posted on March 19, 2024 by Inside Licensing Webmaster (DOL)

Recently, the Redmond driver licensing office had the opportunity to help serve former Governor Gary Locke. Daniel Gomez was able to provide him with quick efficient service and he left the following comment for Daniel: "Keep up the great work. You are a shining example of the great contributions that immigrants make everyday to our nation. Best, Gary Locke."

Great job, Daniel!
