Palin Endorses Koster in Washington's 2nd District

SEATTLE -- Sarah Palin has endorsed socially conservative Republican John Koster in his attempt to unseat Democratic Rep. Rick Larsen in Washington's 2nd Congressional District.

Palin announced the endorsement on her Twitter feed Saturday. She wrote, "John's pro-family, pro-business, rock-solid commonsense conservative!"

Larsen beat Koster to win the seat in 2000. The district covers parts of King, Snohomish, Skagit and Whatcom Counties in northwestern Washington.

Koster has served on the Snohomish County Council since 2001.
