Vote for different values

This morning’s Spokesman Review tells a sad story of a fatally strangled 16-year-old girl in the Seattle area. I am quoting important information included in the article: “Strangulation deaths, which disproportionately affect women, are generally uncommon and have decreased dramatically since passage of the federal Violence Against Women Act in 1994. … State law was changed in 2007 to recognize strangulation as one of the most lethal forms of domestic violence.”

Our important House Representative, Cathy McMorris Rodgers, voted AGAINST RENEWING this act when it last came up in Congress. This, among a number of other important bills, like the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, have been “NO” votes by her. PLEASE remember this next year when we have another chance to elect someone with different values.
