Voting is a chess move you make for the future

| October 16, 2022 1:00 AM

When left-leaning candidates get political power, Oregon, Washington, New York and California show us the result: Growing race hatred and gender dysphoria, sexual corruption of kids, parents excluded from medical decisions, legalized drugs, prisoners released, rising crime, escalating costs and taxes, while needed services collapse. Once-beautiful cities (Portland, Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Seattle, and Spokane) devolve into expanding homeless camps and gang havens as businesses and taxpayers flee.  

Fearful characterizations of Scott Herndon are wrong. I find him to be intelligent, reasonable, ethical, and committed to do right and do good for our community. The most extreme thing about him is that he’s a devout family man trying to live his values.  , that includes a strong stand for life and for the Second Amendment. So what? We’re not electing a dictator, he understands the value of pluralism, and he is ready and able to try and restrain the escalating destruction of our society. 

Voting is a chess move you make for the future you want. If killing the unborn, corrupting children, undermining parents, ignoring citizens, squandering taxpayer money and damaging our social future is what you value, go ahead and vote against him. But if you care about your freedom and quality of life for our community and children, in my view Scott Herndon deserves your support and vote in November.
