Congress is a mess and I agree. Our present congressman Derek Kilmer’s only accomplishment is not taking pay during the shutdown but he doesn’t tell you he sponsored the bill to provide the back pay.

Don’t forget how congress works. If you are not in the majority party all you accomplish is to name a post office or cast a losing vote with your leadership. We need to send a congressman that will be in the majority party and that person is Marty McClendon.

In every poll, people say the country is going in the wrong direction so why would we send the same person back to D. C. to represent us? Our economy depends on the military establishment and we need a congressman in the majority party to defend our jobs.

No matter if it’s the support of military, regulation and education reforms, repair Obamacare, energy independence or securing our borders, we need a congressman in the majority party. If we expect any change on these issues, your choice is clear.

We can have the same rhetoric or send someone to congress from the majority party that will get some results. That is why I will definitely vote for McClendon.
