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 D.C. that just contribute to the gridlock in Congress.

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 Ritchie be honest with us.
