Cathy represents me
I am a dedicated wife, mother of three children, and hard-working health care employee. I was brought up by a single mom who gave us everything she had - which wasn’t much. Cathy McMorris Rodgers represents me because we share the same ideologies. Like my mother, she’s a working mother who is dedicated to her values.
I continue to vote for Cathy because of her passion for our veterans. She works diligently to secure funding for the VA so they can be more efficient, reduce backlogs, improve medical care and modernize facilities.
Cathy and I don’t agree on everything, but she has always taken the time to listen to my views and have compassion for the situation at hand. I look forward to raising my daughter to choose Cathy as her role model, as I have over the years.
We need more strong woman leaders like Cathy.
