OPINION
LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Walden has best
interests at heart
We have the opportunity to
vote for Representative Greg
Walden, sending him back to
Congress to continue to represent
us through these continuing
challenging times. We need his
hard-working, experienced voice
of reason, as well as his seniority
in Congress to balance extreme
positions so often offered as
SHARE YOUR VIEWS
solutions.
We may not all agree with all
positions taken by our elected
representatives, but we expect
them to exercise good judgment
to benefit our society as a whole.
Many of today’s issues are
complex and require a high
level of expertise to navigate
to generally fair conclusions.
There are forces that seem to
take extreme positions and are
unwavering, simply as a means

•
Shiki Hibachki Sushi, 1240 N. 1st St., Hermiston
to achieve their ends instead of
general good.
We are asking our
representatives to fairly represent
us, recognizing our diversity in
this climate of extreme positions.
Greg is working hard and
getting a lot done. In addition to
voting for tax cuts, improving
forest management and
improving care of veterans, Greg
also voted for a measure that
would have provided legal status
and a pathway to citizenship for
all 1.8 million DACA kids who
were eligible for deferred action
under the Obama Administration.
We are thankful for
Congressman Greg Walden’s
past service and look forward to
his continuing judgment in the
best interest of our democracy.
Please join us in voting for
Greg Walden.
