Democratic candidates don’t usually advertise in the Lancaster Farming newspaper. What’s the point? Except for me and my friend Tom, all the farmers I know are Republicans. But here it is–a half page ad for Denny Wolff, Democratic candidate for Congress in the 9th District. He has an A rating from the NRA, he will vote against Nancy Pelosi for speaker, and he knows farm issues. He should; he’s a dairy farmer. I was out with my friend Sandy driving all over Carbon County putting up signs for him today. (His opponent, Meuser, is the guy from New Jersey who thinks liberal Democrats are more of a threat to the U.S. than ISIS.)
The Environment Defense Fund doesn’t usually have nice things to say about Red State governors, but the latest issue of “Solutions,” the EDF’s newsletter, has a long favorable interview with Republican Governor Matt Mead of Wyoming. Gov. Mead has worked to cut ozone emissions and has pushed strong pollution regulations on oil and gas wells in western Wyoming.
Denny Wolff and Matt Mead are the kind of politicians we need. They don’t name call; they try to find solutions. That is amazing in today’s climate.
