Wilson reaching out

In 2014, I voted for Joe Pakootas, as I wanted Cathy McMorris Rodgers dethroned. She is a huge part of the ongoing dysfunctional Congress. For me, she specializes in sending meaningless canned messages when I’ve tried to contact her about my concerns.

This year, I have made a huge effort to learn as much as I can about all the candidates running for the 5th District of the U.S. Congress. I have heard them all speak. I’ve tried to go online to get as much information about them. I want to know how easy it is to contact them, to learn how they are going to listen and respond to the voters.

I am having concerns that Joe Pakootas hasn’t spent a lot of time going out and personally meeting people and listening to their concerns as voters. Is he going to be another Cathy McMorris Rodgers except as a Democrat?

I have seen Dave Wilson reaching out to several thousands of voters in the 5th District and listening to them. It is my wish that all voters have an opportunity to meet him in person. The 5th District needs a people person with integrity to represent us. Vote wisely.
