Letter to the Editor: Why all the attack ads?

l’m getting tired of political ads on social media. What bothers me the most are the attack ads that are full of misrepresentations and outright lies!

In my district Christina Bohannan and the Democratic Party are making false statements about Marianette Miller-Meeks, and it needs to stop.

One of the lies being promoted is about Miller-Meeks supposedly voting against capping the price on insulin. This is not true, Dr. Miller-Meeks joined with Democrats in voting for the Affordable Insulin Now Act to cap its price at $35.

Another lie that Bohannan is saying about Miller-Meeks is that she is an “extremist” and wants to outlaw all abortions with no exceptions. This is not true! I applaud Marianette’s pro-life stance that offers exceptions for rape, incest and the mother’s health. She also promotes alternatives with her contraception bills and is in favor of IVF. The extremist is Christina Bohannan who supports abortion through the entire gestation cycle.

Some of the topics I would like to hear Bohannan be honest about are her: stance on the southern border and allowing illegals taking jobs of the middle-class workers. Allowing men to participate in women’s sports and on the Second Amendment. Why she donated money to the Prairieland Freedom Fund and promoted the Minnesota Freedom Fund which supported protestors in the Minnesota riots and to Defund the Police.

I prefer candidates to be honest. I support candidates who tell the truth. That’s why I’m casting my vote for Marianette Miller-Meeks!
