The British term “backbencher” describes members of parliament who are reliable votes for their party but have no policy influence. If their party is out of power, they might as well not be there. That describes Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler. With a large Democratic House majority, we might as well not have a representative.

Planning is underway for a new Interstate 5 Bridge and Democrats prioritize infrastructure. We will be better served having Democrat Carolyn Long representing us. Be pragmatic. Vote Carolyn Long for Congress.
