I’m thankful that we have a representative who cares about this community. Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, stands up for what matters to Southwest Washington. Whether speaking against Oregon tolling, addressing the exploding sea lion population, or going to bat for us in D.C., she seems to keep us in mind rather than getting distracted by whatever they’re squabbling about on CNN.
I wonder if her opponent understands what Southwest Washingtonians want. Moving from Oregon shortly before she filed, it appears that she’s just looking for a job. We’re doing fine with Herrera Beutler, thanks. Perhaps Portland would be a better fit for her qualifications and values.
