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

Hello voters of Clark county. The Third Congressional District race for Congress is about getting the seat back for the Republicans. It’s not about Joe Kent and Leslie Lewallen. It’s about unseating Marie Perez.
Joe Kent and Leslie Lewallen are going after Marie Perez and Joe and Leslie should be nice to each other and help each other out. When Joe Kent wins the primary, Leslie should help Joe Kent out so we can win the seat again.
Adam Shetler, PCO 631
Vancouver
