Political Football

Letter to the Editor

Republicans have a choice in the Republican Primary election this year and all of District 2. You have the opportunity to choose between 3 candidates that are running for the Republican ticket for the 2^nd Congressional District held formerly by Jim Leach.

Many people don’t vote in the primary because they do not understand the process. When you go to vote you check the Republican box and you will receive the Republican ballot. You do not have to do anything else to vote.

You can go right now to the Auditor’s office and vote early. They will be open Saturday May 24 & 31 for voting.

Dr. Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Ottumwa is one of the candidates. If elected she will be the first woman to represent Iowa in Washington. But most important is that Dr. Miller-Meeks is qualified to represent us. Mariannette doesn’t just talk about veterans and the GI bill, she served our country for 24 years and retired as a Lt Colonel, she knows about the concerns and needs of our veterans.

Experience as a doctor, nurse, and educator in the medical field, Mariannette knows the problems and harm government run health care will create. Our choices will be limited and we will pay for others to receive treatments that we don’t agree with. This is not a good plan for Americans.

Tax relief that is permanent and Supporting the 2^nd Amendment are part of Mariannette’s firm beliefs. Mariannette is also a member of the NRA.

Mariannette and her husband, Curt have been married 24 years and have two children. Curt is also a retired Lt. Colonel. They understand the importance of raising a family in a free America that offers the opportunity to our children to prosper and live the American Dream.

I support Mariannette and ask you to Please vote for Dr. Marianette Miller-Meeks June 3.
