I am writing to call on Congressman Dave Reichert’s liberal opponent Jason Ritchie to stop the smear tactics. Following his campaign thus far, Ritchie has towed the party line and done little to differentiate himself from the partisan politicians in DC who are exactly what the American people are tired of.

Ritchie most recently demonstrated this on an episode of the Jason Rantz show on KIRO radio. When asked what he agrees on with Congressman Reichert he struggled to answer, ultimately offering enjoying soccer. Soccer?

This year alone Congressman Reichert has passed legislation combatting human trafficking of foster kids and introduced common sense legislation that gives teachers a tax credit for out of pocket classroom expenses. Congressman Reichert delivers results not rhetoric.

The voters can do their own research on their candidates without the negative campaigning distorting their positions. As a voter, I ask that he be honest with us.
