Third Congressional District Lynne Treat offers her thoughts on the Congressional 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

Marie Glusenkamp Perez is the candidate for Congress in our district. She clearly best represents the wants and needs of the residents in our region. She stands for, among other things, increased funding for public education, job training, and health care for all our citizens.
Her opponent, on the other hand, promises to gut funding for all of these things. With Marie, we will take a bold step forward, as opposed to a step backward if we vote for her opponent. From where I sit, Marie Glusenkamp Perez is the clear and rational choice for representative in our district.
