Letter to the editor: If Kent is elected, he will be more supportive of his party than people 

Posted

As we all now know, Joe Kent, who depending on whom you believe, was a Kate Brown voting Democrat or is a Trump supporting extremist. Sadly, I think it’s the latter and now he’s possibly going to be representing Southwest Washington in Congress. Ms. Jaime Herrera Beutler was a welcome addition to the House as she was a more moderate Republican and frequently worked with the Democrats and the far right Republicans to pass effective legislation that helped her constituents. I believe if Mr. Kent is elected, he’ll be more supportive of the party than the people he should represent. I hope I’m wrong, but based on things he’s said, I’m not holding my breath.

Harold A. Lay,
