To the Editor:

The primary is past, and we now know who we need to support to get Congress working again. Not many people question the fact that Congress isn’t functioning well.

To fix that, we need to elect Jamie McLeod-Skinner as our congress member in the Second Congressional District. Jamie is a native of our region and knows the issues of southern and Eastern Oregon well. She has the knowledge, experience and integrity to represent the voters of Eastern Oregon.

In conversations with Jamie and hearing her speak, I know two of her top priorities are seeing there are livable-wage jobs for all Oregonians and that affordable health care is available throughout Oregon. Jamie knows how to get things done and won’t settle for business as usual in Washington. She can get things done.

When the time comes to cast your vote for Congress, vote for Jamie McLeod-Skinner. She’s the right person for Eastern Oregon.
