No time for constituents

Cathy McMorris Rodgers just doesn’t have time for protesters or the little people of Eastern Washington. Don’t you know that you don’t have enough money to buy time with her?

As chair of the House Republican Conference, when she’s not in Washington D.C., she is traveling the country raising money for the Republican Party. In 2016, she raised $8.6 million for Republican candidates and members of Congress.

The only time she pays attention is if you are carrying money bags of cash and the only time you will get her attention is when you vote her out of office.
