I have read in several letters that Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, refuses to have town halls or debates. Odd, because I have attended some of her many town hall/community meetings, and live teleconferences.
People criticize that her phone conferences have screened calls. If true, then why does she also take calls from people who challenge her positions, such as removing sea lions? Every time I have heard her speak, I am more impressed. She listens and is articulate, compassionate, courteous, respectful, thoughtful and well-informed. Living in Clark County, she is in touch. We need more representatives just like Herrera Beutler.
