Wilson is sensible, responsive

It is indeed time to take back control of our government and remove it from the lobbyists and big money contributors. I would like people to attend one of Dave Wilson’s many town halls in the 5th District and learn about his pledge, something all politicians should sign.

Cathy McMorris Rodgers is supported by millions of dollars (about 85 of which comes from outside our district). Isn’t it time we voted in a representative who is accessible, visible and who will work for us, not a big contributor? Dave has rung over 7,000 doorbells in this district and continues to do so.

His campaign is highly organized, and he has the passion and commitment to work and serve the constituents of this area. Check out his website, DaveWilsonForCongress.com, and join him in the middle. He will not be beholden to “dialing for dollars” (“60 Minutes” story) as Democratic and Republican candidates are obligated to do.

All that fundraising takes time away from serving us in the 5th District. Again, attend a town hall or a forum and see why Dave Wilson is the man we need for the job. He is sensible, responsive and visible.
