A hard worker who’ll fight for you

I recently read Wade Jodun is running for Congress.

I’m a Republican. I don’t know much about Wade’s politics. But I know Wade. We met in 1994 when he started volunteering for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Back then, he was going to college, working nights for the Centre Daily Times, and volunteering. I’m pretty sure he logged 100 hours a week for the next three years.

In 2007, I fell off a roof at work and nearly lost my life. After being stuck for months in the government’s nightmare of red tape and stupidity when workman’s comp refused to pay for my ambulance ride to the hospital, I called Wade. He cut through the red tape and had things resolved in a matter of hours. When I got stuck dealing with bureaucrats for a month trying to resolve a mess between workman’s comp and my doctor concerning a surgery I needed, Wade jumped in again and I was cleared for surgery in two hours.

I have always been able to depend on Wade. If I could pick one guy I’d want on my side when the deck is stacked against me, it would be Wade. I trust him. He cares. That’s a lot more than I can say for the current crop of politicians and lawyers I see screwing up this country.

I don’t care about political parties, I just want someone who will change things and fight for me. So, come May, I’m voting for Wade.
