CMR aides did the talking

Sun., July 8, 2018

The first time I met Cathy was nine years ago at her Spokane office and I was amazed at how uninformed she was on educational issues. Her aide, at the time, did most of the talking.

The second time that I actually met with Cathy was in D.C. in 2012. I was asking for her help to talk to other Republican congressmen and women to support breast cancer research. I became teary-eyed talking about dear friends who had passed away from breast cancer. I found Cathy very cold and unapproachable. Again, her aides did most of the talking. Cathy never did answer my question if she would talk to anyone.

It’s time for a change. Ms. McMorris Rodgers does not understand issues that are important to Washington residents.
