My Congressman, Tom MacArthur, supports every policy of the current administration and has rarely, if ever, listened to the pleas of the constituents of CD3. His silence on issues of importance has gone beyond differences of policy, it now indicates a total abrogation of moral principles. He does not represent us. He does not protect us.

Thankfully, on November 6, 2018, the Citizens of CD3 can create change and send a man with courage and principles to the House. Vote for change in November. Vote for Andy Kim.
