Right experience to do the job in 14th

This year, our country is engaged in an exciting presidential primary race. We can share this excitement and bring change both in Washington and locally by voting for John Laesch for Congress in the 14th District. He's the right choice for us and will get my vote.

John is a union carpenter, a working man who will go to Washington to represent average, middle-class working Americans, and not powerful corporate interests. John Laesch is a man of the people who will listen to the people.

Like me, John is a Navy veteran, but also a former intelligence analyst who understands the culture of Iraq and the importance of diplomacy in ending the Iraq war sooner rather than later. He has exactly the experienced leadership we now need in Washington.

We need our government to be honest, open and true to our Constitution. Sending John Laesch to Congress will bring us one step closer to that goal.

Vote for him in the regular and special primary elections Feb. 5 to replace our retired congressman.
