Never vote for Demuth

Had not publicly condemned the tariffs. (She) said, “They have a purpose. Are hard but effective. Have been good for MN.”  Took her until Sept. 24 to finally say stop the war in Iran after months of refusing to condemn it. Look what this illegal unnecessary war has cost in lives, US honor and money. What it has done to our economy.  Supported one Big “Ugly” Bill which will take 140,000 Minnesotans off any health insurance. I have found no health care bill for her. No mention of premium costs. Has praised Trump’s health care plan. She voted against capping insulin cost in ...

Vote for real affordability

For those choosing to vote Democrat to achieve affordability, you must be suffering from amnesia. Under Democrat control during the Biden presidency, gas reached $5.01 per gallon, a gallon of milk was $4.22, butter typically cost $4.91, and eggs averaged $4.82 per dozen. I recall seeing a price near $7. Inflation topped out at over 9%, averaging 5% for Biden’s term.

Under Republican control, gas plummeted to less than $3 ...

Enduring candidate ad biz

Twin Cities TV stations to run campaign ads day and night, nearly nonstop, to now include ads from Iowa and Wisconsin politicians? Why must we endure this endless sickening ad biz for most of this year? Despite all their claims to be super leaders in doing the right thing for all citizens, none seem qualified to hold office with integrity. Karen L. Kettner Sleepy Eye
