Letters to the Editor

To the editor,

After reading and watching the news online and on TV, it appears that our country is divided into those who care about property and those who care about people, and most astute observers could easily identify which political party caters to each group. Since I have traveled and lived in many different countries of the world–some “developed” and some “developing “which President Trump called “shithole countries”, I have never seen such wretched living as some people experience in certain parts of the United States, The disparity in lifestyles here is palpable, and our present administration seems to exacerbate this inequality. We can do better.

Now I have known the two candidates for the 5th Congressional District for at least 6 years, Dave Wilson and Cathy McMorris Rodgers. I can say without reservation that Dave Wilson will be the better representative for the people. He lives in Spokane, has had a successful business in Spokane, knows many people in the 5th District, is active in political issues and is an honest, patriotic and caring person. Look into his record and know that he will represent ALL people, not favor certain groups. It is time that we have a representative that listens impartially to the people and responds to our letters and emails thoughtfully, instead of sending a form letter about “How humble I am to be your representative….” Repeat, we can do better. We can have a real person who listens and represents all of the people.
