Brown the rational choice

Thu., Sept. 13, 2018

While Trumpism and its grim pall is with us I believe Lisa Brown is the only rational choice to represent me in Congress.

But even with no Trump, Lisa far outpoints her opponent on the big issues. For example, on Social Security, her opponent says she wants to save Social Security by turning it into a Wall Street casino. Think back to Enron, the dotcom crash and other market fiascos.

When it comes to health care, Lisa believes in protecting patient coverage despite pre-existing conditions, and on trade she supports policies that help, not hurt, our farmers, ranchers and manufacturers. I feel I have given Cathy a fair hearing and will be voting for Lisa Brown.
