Keep Speaker Ryan

Sun., Oct. 16, 2016

In my lifetime, undoubtedly this is the worst crop of presidential candidates, as neither Clinton nor Trump are good choices as president and we need at least one adult in Washington, D.C. next year.

I am supporting Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers because of her support of common-sense views, but just as important, voting for her continues to keep Paul Ryan as speaker of the House. Ryan is the needed adult in Washington, D.C., no matter who is elected as president.

Please support McMorris Rodgers, as we do not want the unbalanced ultra-liberal Nancy Pelosi back as speaker of the House.
