In my 82 years I have witnessed many elections and have heard many times that an upcoming election is the most important one we have ever had.
The divided situation we are experiencing at the local, state, and national levels is resulting in an environment that is threatening our future well being. Our only choice of action is to be careful and knowledgeable when we cast our votes. I am a conservative Republican and I am saddened by the events in my Party at the local level by people that call themselves Republicans, but are truly members of the John Birch Party. This party seems to believe that if you don’t believe the way they do you are the enemy and are to be treated as such. This behavior is mirrored by the far left socialist Democrats, and this is exactly why we have the division that results in nothing being done to benefit the citizens these people represent.
We need to wake up and put reasonable people in office that have the best interest of the citizens they represent foremost in their minds. We have a Republican primary coming up that gives us that opportunity, and I believe that Wayne Rusk is the only candidate that will work with everyone to benefit all of us. Wayne is knowledgeable of all the issues we face in our county and state, and most importantly, he is committed to finding solutions, not bragging about the things he voted against. He will listen to everyone, not just those that think like he does. We have other reasonable and knowledgeable elected people from our Valley and Wayne will be an excellent addition to our legislature.
Please think before you vote and vote for Wayne!
