I am writing to express my deep appreciation for Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, who continues to be a peacemaker during this time of divisiveness and partisanship. I am sickened by the anger and hatred displayed through letters to the editor in this paper and on television during the impeachment hearings, and I am so thankful that Jaime remains a cool-headed and bipartisan voice in Congress. In the middle of an angry and divisive political storm, she is calm and rational.
Our country is in desperate need of more leaders like Jaime, who refuses to lower herself to the petty partisan attacks thrown her way. Instead, she focuses on issues that actually help residents in Southwest Washington, like lowering the cost of prescription drugs, child care, and housing. Keep up the good work, Jaime!
