Camas resident Lauren Colas believes MGP ‘is as radical and far-left progressive as Kamala Harris and John Walz’

I laugh whenever I see Democrat Marie Gluesenkamp Perez’s new TV ads claiming she’s “working for us.” Her voting record proves otherwise. She’s in favor of open borders and always votes her party line to put illegal aliens above legal American citizens.

Perfect examples:
— Voted NO to “Secure The Border” (HR 2)
— Voted YES to subsidize illegals via welfare (HR 7024).
— Voted NO to prevent millions from being sent to the United Nations to support illegals’ movement to the U.S. (HR 8771, Amend. 35).
— Voted YES to give illegals representation in D.C. (HR 7109).
Don’t be fooled. Marie is as radical and far-left progressive as Kamala Harris and John Walz. She doesn’t work for us AT ALL which shows how much disregard she has for our citizens, our Constitution and our current laws.

Have you read the bills or do you just like the titles. HR 7024 was passed by the house on motion to suspend the rules to pass the bill as amended on a vote of 327-70. Seems like it was a bipartisan bill with the no votes coming from such luminaries as Matt Gaetz (likes to party with underaged girls). Event MTG voted in favor HR 7024. Do some research. I could go through each bill, but something tells me the logic and reason are not likely to persuade you. For any readers, I encourage you to read the bills before accepting this off the cuff assessment of a voting record.
Who is John Walz? MGP isn’t the delusional one here
You don’t read?
The writer mentions John Walz. Kinda hard to take her seriously when she can’t even get the name of the vice presidential nominee correct.
It’s really interesting. Is political parties are allowed to lie in their ads. This should not be allowed.

I see that too and it is a turnoff for myself. Both parties guilty.
Gluesenkamp Perez has mocked those concerned about millions of illegal immigrants, including violent criminals and gangs, crossing into the US over the southern border. Perez says,
“Listen, like, nobody stays awake at night worrying about the southern border”
Horrific assaults against helpless children,teens, and elderly residents by violent criminals and gangs who flow into the US over the southern border is a concern to many. The trafficking of children and young people by illegal immigrants who are crossing the pourous southern border is also a concern to many.
The influx of fentanyl over the southern border has exploded, and far too many young people especially have fallen to fentanyl addiction and fatal drug overdoses as a result.
The callous disregard Perez and Harris show for the safety of peaceful US residents by neglecting and denying the crisis at the southern border is inexcusable. What about our northern border?
Marie is a progressive Activist. She supported Antifa and the burning of PSU dormitories. Not by words, but with her Portland based business. She wants you to believe she’s a mechanic with an economics degree. Anyone with half a brain can see she doesn’t understand either one. She votes for inflationary policies without understanding the basic economics behind them. I’m sick of the lies.
She supported the burning of dormitories. You should be a politician. You can spread the manure with the best of them.
Having her business fix blowers to fight police. She supports vandalism in Portland. The burning of buildings was done by Antifa. Sad you support bad behavior and Marxist ideology.
You haven’t changed my mind about spreading bull manure.
Voted yes to give illegals representation in DC? Did you even read the bill? She actually voted no to require a question on the census asking if a person was a legal resident or not. Voting no to requiring something isn’t voting yes for something else, despite how you twist it.
HR 7402 was introduced by, sponsored by and overwhelmingly supported by both parties.
Smart people don’t repeat what others say. Smart people research. Every representative has a published voting record. You should take a look and form your own opinion. I did and that’s why she will be getting my vote.
