Letter: Larsen really more of a Maryland resident

Regarding the 2nd District Congressional race: I am writing to endorse Marc Hennemann for this very important Congressional seat.

Rick Larsen has been a consistent part of the federal governance problem since he was first elected to the office in 2000. He tends to twist truth and falsehood to his advantage, including his assertion that he is an Everett resident.

The Larsens own a home in Everett, which is currently occupied by one of their adult children. Rick and his wife actually live in Bethesda, Maryland, in a $660,000 home they’ve owned since 2001. Both of their sons attended high school in Bethesda; the elder graduated from it, while the younger son is still a student there. These facts would not indicate that Rick Larsen is truly a hometown boy with the interests of his community at heart.

Marc Hennemann, on the other hand, is a solid, sensible and experienced independent thinker, who wishes to actually represent the people of his state. Please look at all the facts, then cast your vote for Marc Hennemann.
