September 25, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Letter: Criticism of Harris unsubstantiated

September 25, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

In Mr. Schimelpfenig’s recent letter (“Harris is too liberal,” Our Readers’ Views, Sept. 14), he stated that Kamala Harris was “the most liberal Senator.” Gov.Track rated her the fourth-most liberal senator behind Bernie Sanders.

Letter: Trump is not qualified

September 24, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

When he first appeared to be running in 2016, Trump did not show any sign of intelligence. Defending his loss in 2020, the rhetoric of his public speeches dropped into fabrication and lies. Those were exposed when Liz Cheney, a member of Trump’s own party, ripped into him and accomplices.… Read story

Letter: Support Perez for Congress

September 24, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Joe Kent declined the League of Women Voters’ invitation to debate Marie Gluesenkamp Perez in the race to represent Washington’s 3rd Congressional District. Perez readily accepted the invitation.

Letter: Harris is not qualified

September 24, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Kamala Harris should have been an actress. Her well-scripted and rehearsed answers to specific questions always result in nonanswers, which she repeats day after day. In response to an important issue, she always goes off in la-la-land with her responses. Read story
