Camas resident Chuck MIller compares the candidates in the Third Congressional District race

Editor’s note: Opinions expressed in this letter to the editor are those of the author alone and do not reflect the editorial position of ClarkCountyToday.com

Let’s compare candidates for the Third Congressional District. 

Joe Kent’s platform is:

• To bring jobs back to America from overseas
• To return America to energy independence
• Get control over the mess at the border
• Stop spending American treasure in lives and money on foreign wars
• Protect the rights of families from abusive government and unconstitutional mandates
• Protect the most important document ever written, with the exception being the Bible, the Constitution of the United States (which is under assault)
• Defend the right of citizens to keep and bear arms and the 1st Amendment (right to freedom of speech)
• Defying leftist tyrannical censorship in every aspect of our lives
• Making health care more affordable by allowing people to purchase insurance across state borders, which creates competition and drives the cost down through supply and demand

That is just to name a few.

Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s platform:

• Supports government controlling our healthcare
• Supports government controlling what we put into our bodies
• Supports programs at schools that sexualize little children and school boards that call parents terrorists for protesting
• Supports programs at schools that pit one race against another (CRT)
• Supports the failed policies of President Biden
• Says nothing about the crush from the left on free speech
• Supports restrictive unconstitutional gun laws. 

However, Perez and her husband are small business owners. They own an auto repair shop in PORTLAND, OREGON. Not in the 3rd Congressional District – but in Portland, Oregon.
