Let's all agree, whether part of it or all of it, this mailer was paid for in part by contributions from Charlie Dent over time, yet the headline is about being a champion for conservative values. You just can't have it both ways. Simmons and Bowser have no differences in ideology from 2nd amendment down, yet she is a decorated military veteran while he is a four term rep who went against his term-limit word and has achieved very, very little. As has been the case over the years with Simmons, he leads nothing, takes credit for things achieved by committee, and throws his hands up and says it's really hard to get things done when no progress is made. Just this mailer alone says Justin supported, Justin passed, Justin stopped the Governor. The only thing no-show Simmons stopped was going to work and voting on your behalf, more than 500 times.

I know him well enough and long enough to be entirely comfortable with him. The only reason I won't endorse the Colonel is out of fairness to her opponent, and I don't know her as well. I want to hear what he has to say first. But on paper, she's by far the best of the candidates, and that includes Democrats with no opposition. I am biased in favor of candidates I support, and that really has little to do with party. It is only a factor. Beitler deserves that seat simply bc he is by far one of the most transparent and accountable elected officials i have ever seen. I also appreciate his open space preservation ideas. Plosa-Boweser is a decorated combat veteran with two Masters degrees. Who equals that? <br /><br />So though my leanings are left of center, I will support conservatives.
