Lucky to have McMorris Rodgers

Wed., Sept. 19, 2012

Growing up on a farm, working her way through college, and achieving remarkable success in Congress, it’s clear that Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers understands the heart and soul of Eastern Washington. She is an example of the best of America. And she’s working hard to preserve these same opportunities for our children and grandchildren.

I applaud her for the courageous stances she has taken against Washington, D.C.’s out-of-control spending while ensuring that Medicare and Social Security are preserved for our seniors. I am proud to have her as my representative and look forward to casting my ballot for her in November. I encourage everyone to do the same. We are lucky to have Cathy!
