I learned from a friend in White Salmon today that the people whom I believe are most-responsible for keeping living-wage jobs out of the 15th LD feel threatened and tried their best to keep me from getting elected by posting bad things in the letters-to-the-editor of the White Salmon Enterprise. I guess more people disagreed with their thoughts than agreed or I wouldn't have been elected.
That said, what is it they disagree with? Is it that I want living-wage jobs? Is it that I want money for senior care or veteran's care? Is it that I want safe roads, emergency services, schools and libraries? Or perhaps it's that I said I would put an end to frivolous lawsuits that keep living-wage jobs and industry out of our area.
The bottom line is that I love the people of my district and I love my home in Washington. I will do whatever it takes to bring good jobs and prosperity to the region and if that means that people won't be able to extort money from business owners who want to set up shop then that's what I will do.
Having said that let me be crystal clear: It is NOT my intention to build my campaign by pointing out who is creating these problems, again in my opinion on who is creating these problems, rather it is my intention to come back home and talk about the positive things we can do moving forward to bring growth to our area. The only reason I would have to go after these groups again is if they decide to continue firing missiles at me in the way of letters-to-the editor, etc., in which case I will have to explain my position and in so doing they will once again see their names and what I believe they are doing both in the paper and in my campaign speeches at debates, etc. I will leave it up to these groups which way they want to go on that.
I'm coming home to win this election and to bring prosperity to my people and I'd hope these goals would be shared by all people in the district including Democrats, Republicans, Independents and everyone who is sick of poverty reeking havoc on our citizens.
The time for change is upon us and I will not relent.
I am a man of the people and for the people of my district.
