U.S. House, 1st District: Cavaleri will set us on right course

We have an important choice for Congress in the 1st District primary vote Aug. 2 and Nov. 8. Are we satisfied with the state quo?

Crime and violent crime and homelessness have increased dramatically in the last year.

Inflation has increased alarmingly. Food, fuel, and housing increasing our costs. Higher taxes and regulations discourage and harm businesses.

Why are we paying $100 to fill our gas tanks? The Biden administration has restricted oil companies and subsidized wind and solar. We need policies to use oil reserves to defend the safety of our country.

What is government including in teaching our children? Diversity, equity, inclusion and CRT are the policy of our Department of Education, teaching and promoting oppression and racial injustice.

We are emphasizing wokeness in military. Are we combat-ready and strengthening our military? China is building its military; we need to prepare.

Government immigration policy is open borders. Millions we are not checking are crossing our borders.

U.S. Rep, Susan DelBene, D-Wash., a loyal party member supports these policies.

We have a choice. When we are headed off course, we make course correction.

Vince Cavaleri is campaigning for the 1st District to activate public safety, fiscal, and responsible policies. Vince has been an active member of the Mill Creek City Council. He initiated the anti-camping and no-marijuana business ordinances.

He has shown his dedication 30 years of public service. If you agree with his commitment to the sound principles that preserve the future of our great country, vote for Vince Cavaleri.
