Snyder for District 1

Republicans face many choices for our District 1 congressman on May 15. For me, Michael Snyder is the clear choice. His positions provide many reasons to send him to Washington. I’d like to share just a couple that are meaningful to me.

Many debate the federal government’s jurisdiction to restrict or allow abortion. However, as a pro-life individual I find it both disturbing and frustrating that my tax dollars are funneled by the federal government, without my consent, to an organization whose history, mission and practices I find completely reprehensible. I appreciate Michael’s pledge to vote against any funding for Planned Parenthood.

Gun control is a hot-button topic these days, with many “pro-gun” Republicans taking about “common sense gun control measures.” Yet few are willing to discuss whether any of these current or proposed measures fall within the delegated responsibilities of our federal government. Here, Michael stands out from his pro-gun opponents. In his own words, “I will fight to eliminate all federal firearms acts, which violate the U.S. Constitution.”

So check out Michael’s positions; meet him at a local meeting; and join me in voting for the clear conservative choice as our next U.S. representative on May 15!
