Clark County Republican State Committeewoman Anne O’Neill makes her case for Joe Kent in the Third Congressional District
Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com
Wednesday night the Clark County Republican Central Committee overwhelmingly voted to endorse Joe Kent for Congress in the third Congressional District in Washington State. This endorsement follows Cowlitz County and Thursday night Skamania County.
Joe narrowly lost in 2022 to radical democrat Marie Gluesenkamp- Perez. Do not believe that CD3 is purple. If not for the 40,000 Republicans who did not vote, this seat would still be red. Joe has earned the major district-wide support needed to win.
If you think the county, state, country is going in the wrong direction, just wait two more years. It is important we rally around one candidate and quit splitting our vote.
The democrats support a limited number of candidates running for any one position. Republicans run too many potential candidates who have zero or limited chance for winning. Our general election candidates end up broke and battered just from fighting each other in the primary. We whine about losing and do the same thing in the very next election. The result of this insanity is worse in Washington State when only the top two primary vote getters move forward. This jungle primary was introduced by democrats to increase the odds that two democrats would be our only choice and it is working.
Washington State is a free mail-in only voting state. There are legitimate concerns over the security of this voting system and even more about eliminating voter ID. And, still, too many Republicans in Washington State will not walk to their own mailboxes and vote. Better to give the election to a democrat then vote for a Republican who doesn’t check all your boxes. We all know the media or democrat PAC’s would never lie about Republican candidates. Do not vote and you are correct, your vote won’t count.
Send a message. Only your vote will tell Olympia and D.C. that Republicans are serious. We want our County, our State, and our Country back.
Start NOW by supporting and voting Joe Kent for Congress!
