Camas resident Richard MacMinn shares his reasons for supporting Marie Gluesenkamp Perez
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
Two quite different candidates want to represent the 3rd district in Congress, Marie Perez and Joe Kent.

First, I thank Joe Kent for his military service. I also served and took the same oath to support and defend the U.S. Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic. I still believe the oath and believe that it is inconsistent with the big lie.
The case for fraud in the last Presidential election has repeatedly been lost in the courts. Generally, those who believe the big lie support the January 6th insurrection, which is inconsistent with our oath to support and defend.
I want the next representative from the 3rd District to take the oath of office and make me believe it. Second, that person is Marie Perez.
Richard MacMinn
Camas
