Swap CMR for Wilson

Sun., March 13, 2016

Cathy McMorris Rodgers has become a typical, do-nothing, accomplish-nothing politician. Congress gets this way after a few re-elections. Voters literally become irrelevant to their political careers.

Looking around at other candidates, Dave Wilson ran in 2014, and he’s giving us a chance to correct that mistake in 2016. His money pledge is spot-on. If any politician would make the same pledge, we would have better elections, and especially, better representation.

If we keep letting this guy go away without office, we could have McMorris Rodgers indefinitely.
