Brown doesn’t represent me
I am not your typical Republican. I was an independent in my younger days and have become more conservative as I age.
It bothered me that Lisa Brown did not affiliate herself with any political party early on. Then I see that she supports increasing taxes; a state income tax; and, worst of all, she raised college tuition over 80 percent in just five years. Then she took a $360,000 salary at WSU. Lisa’s latest ad claims that she doesn’t take PAC money. But she does, she takes hundreds of thousands of dollars from corporate PACs
These things lead me to understand that Lisa Brown does not represent me.
Cathy McMorris Rodgers’ profiles and records show that Cathy is working for the middle class family with 4 percent unemployment, a booming economy and a revived military. Cathy offers a message of political unity - unity to disagree and still be friends, a rare thing in this day and age of social media and hiding behind a keyboard. I believe that this attitude of Cathy’s is exactly what our country and our Congress needs right now.
I have come to the conclusion that Cathy McMorris Rodgers does represent me.
