Baxter in good company
They say a man is known by the company he keeps. If that is the case, I’m voting for Sen. Jeff Baxter this November.
I’m a big supporter of Rep. Matt Shea and Sen. Mike Baumgartner. They are true conservatives. We need more legislators like them if this state has any hope of changing the big-government status quo culture that is suffocating our economy.
So their support of Sen. Baxter’s campaign to retain his Senate seat tells me what I need to know about Sen. Baxter. If they are willing to put their well-respected, conservative credentials behind Baxter, I’m going to put my vote behind him.
It’s hard to find truly conservative candidates. Too many have been entrenched in politics so long they have forgotten what small, accountable government really means. We’re already winning with two great lawmakers like Rep. Shea and Sen. Baumgartner.
Let’s keep Sen. Jeff Baxter in office and make it a trifecta.
