I am supporting Rosemary Monahan for House District 146. It’s time for a change, and time to send a Representative to Augusta who will represent us with integrity and skill. During his two-year term, our current Representative has failed to answer a single email or phone call from myself, and has ignored all of my requests for responses on important issues. In fact, he recently posted online an admonition telling constituents to stop calling him. For a person who sought and holds a paid public office whose only duty is to represent the citizens of District 146, that is unbelievable.

I don’t believe there is anyone who has a belief in God that would deny our nation is in dire need of prayer; for healing between our ethnic groups, for seeing that all lives matter for the homeless, disadvantaged and poor to all lives in all stages of life from their very beginning to a compassionate caring of our elderly. For our religious freedoms and protection of our beliefs, for a war on illegal drugs coming into our country, for a truly fair immigration policy for our undocumented immigrants and our citizens. For a strong economy that can provide increased job opportunities and wages for our middle class, for a policy for energy independence and a comprehensive national security plan against ISIS both here and abroad.
