Vote for bipartisanship in state 41st House Dist.

While following our elected officials' activity on social media and in the news, it is clear that the majority of state Rep. Grant Wehrli's time is spent attacking other people, despite being in office for nearly six years himself. When talking about the many issues facing the state, all he can manage to do is point fingers and blame the process for his complete lack of leadership and inability to get the work done, just like other Trump Republicans.

People expect their elected officials to put partisan politics aside and work together to develop real solutions to the many different issues facing the state in a way that best represents the district's values. Every time Rep. Wehrli points a finger at someone else blaming them for the problem, without taking any accountability for his own lack of leadership over the last six years, I wonder why it is that he was elected to represent the voters of the 41st District in the first place. We need someone in Springfield who is focused on getting work done, not playing petty politics, which is why I am voting for Janet Yang Rohr for state representative on Nov. 3.

While I know that Janet and I will not always agree on every issue, I know that she will take everyone's opinion into consideration when making the difficult decisions that are required of this position. She will use thought and reason to drive her decisions, as she does in her career, on the school board and as a mother of three.

It is time that we send someone to Springfield who knows that bipartisanship and working together are the solutions to our problems, not political showmanship. That is why I ask for the voters in the 41st House District to vote for Janet Yang Rohr for state representative, and to dump the Trump-Wehrli agenda.
