Westport Resident Supports Obsitnik for Congress

A letter to the editor from Rob Hess.

 

To the Editor,

Please vote for Steve Obsitnik for U.S. Congress on November 6.  This is a critically important election and we must make sure that we send to Washington a new representative that will tackle our problems without making excuses.  Steve is the right man for the job in the 4th District.

Our current representative, Jim Himes, has voted with Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats 90% of the time and has supported policies that have added $5 trillion in new debt and have hindered job creation and economic growth.  He has been representing Washington’s interests, not ours.  Steve Obsitnik will be an independent voice that will work with people on both sides of the aisle toward our common goals.  This is essential today as we face $16 trillion in debt, unacceptably high unemployment, weak economic growth, and a partisan divide that keeps us from making real progress.  Steve Obsitnik will work hard to meet our challenges and will be a champion for common sense fiscal reform.

There is so much at stake this election.  The status quo isn’t working.  It is time to send to Washington a real leader for our District who will make the tough choices now so our children will have real opportunity in the future.  That leader is Steve Obsitnik, and I hope you will join me in supporting him on Election Day.
