As we look toward the election in November, I hope each of you will look closely at the candidates and their position on the issues.  It is not enough just to see their TV ads and hear their radio commercials... try to meet them in person.  Go to the candidate forums and events and talk to them.  Ask them question... in depth questions that they may not get on a regular basis.  See how they respond.  Do they really know what they are talking about and how do they really view the issues we are facing.

We need a congressional leader from the 4th District that will remain ethical under pressure and represent our values and views even when it may go against the grain in Washington.

Our issues will never be resolved if we do not have people in Congress who are able to bring opposing sides together and break the gridlock.

Here is some additional food for thought.  It is an article written last spring by former U. S. Ambassador, David Abshire:
