An opportunity for the 5th District
It’s 2018. Do you know where your congressman’s brain is?
Unfortunately, it appears to be in the same place as Donald Trump’s. According to the website fivethirtyeight.com, Rep. Glenn Thompson has supported Mr. Trump’s positions 98.3 percent of the time, one of the highest in Congress.
Thompson has rarely met a Trump idea he didn’t like. Why on earth should the people of this district even consider returning him to Congress?
The 5th District has a real opportunity for change. Marc Friedenberg is running for Congress. I encourage you to find out more about him and what he stands for — and then decide for yourself who would best represent you.
