WaccoBB Voter Guide
US Rep District 2
Here are the candidates for our Representative to Washington. Who do you support and why?
I support Norman Soloman! His rock solid opposition to perpetual war, support for a Wall Street transaction tax and legalization of marijuana are key reasons. Not only will represent our interests but he'll also help nudge the rest of the Democratic Party further to the left.
How about you?
