April 26, 2024 Editor, The News-Gazette: We are fortunate to have the opportunity every two years to select our representative to the U.S. Congress. This person has the responsibility to make decisions that will support the Constitution, protect citizen rights and maintain our national security. Our current representative has failed on these fronts - voting against democratic norms time and time again. Failure to support aid to Ukraine, voting against the strongest bipartisan border control legislation in decades and denying the votes of citizens are just a few examples.
Thankfully we have another option come November! Ken Mitchell served 24 years in the military, including six years in the White House under both political parties. That level of sacrifice and service deserves my vote and the chance to truly earn the congressional salary. The current level of chaos in Congress should not be acceptable to any of us. November is coming and positive change is possible! LAUREN SUMMERS Vesuvius
