Ads predict future action

Sat., Aug. 4, 2018

Thank you, Jim Camden, for the painstaking research you did to produce the June 27 article, “Ads attacking Brown deserve scrutiny.” That must have been a lot of work. You’ve done a great service to the 5th Congressional District.

I’m sorry when candidates won’t run on their own merits but get desperate enough to have to denigrate their opponent. I believe this practice shows a lack of integrity, which will probably show up later in how the person fills the office. I will not vote for him or her.
