Pakootas a proven-problem
I support Joe Pakootas, who is the only problem-solver in the 5th Congressional District race. From overcoming a childhood made tumultuous by circumstances that destroyed far too many young, to his building a successful life for himself, his wonderful wife and children, and his community, to his miraculous $10 million dollar turnaround of the Colville Tribe, to his against-all-odds run for a congressional position, with nearly 1,000 working-class family volunteers who would walk barefoot on broken glass to help him become our problem-solving congressman.
Joe Pakootas’ experienced problem-solving skills are evident in everything he undertakes. When he denies corporate interest donations, he demonstrates that he is a man of honesty and integrity. Joe understands that if he accepts corporate money from those who care more about profit than working-class families, he cannot be our voice and vote in D.C. He will represent hard-working families over those who donate heavily to his opponents’ campaign and three PACS.
We do not need a person who continues to vote against her constituents’ best interests. We need a proven problem solver in Congress. Vote Joe Pakootas.
