Editor,
Joe Kent is a friend of mine. I've known him and worked with him for over two years and I've seen him in many situations.
He has won over doubters and critics on the spot, taking time to listen to their objections and questions and ending encounters with friendly smiles all around.
Joe Kent is a hard worker, traveling to many venues, whether small home meetings, local rallies, larger gatherings and candidate forums.
He has a good grasp of the issues facing people in the sprawling Third Congressional District, and he addresses them from a constitutional, common sense approach.
Unlike his opponent, he doesn't “run to the middle” and try to style himself as a “moderate” on the issues.
He sticks to his values, ingrained in him from his days as a Boy Scout, to Army boot camp, to Special Ops, with 11 overseas tours, to personally advising President Trump on the real issues in the Middle East.
Joe Kent's opponent frets about regulations on her small business in Oregon, then votes with D.C. elites to increase crippling regulations and taxes on businesses and private citizens, all while fronting campaign ads portraying Joe Kent as an angry “radical” person.
Joe Kent is a friendly man who has shown through great personal sacrifice that he cares deeply about America, freedom and financial success for families.
He knows what's going on with prices, fentanyl and crime in our district.
His delightful wife, Heather, has recently spoken out publicly about the real financial pressure on families in our district.
The Kents see exactly what citizens are going through, and Joe Kent knows how to set things right.
I know for a fact that Joe Kent cares about every person in our district and will ably represent us all in Congress.
He represents the greatest opportunity we in the Third Congressional District have ever had to send a loyal, hard-working, intelligent, experienced, informed representative to Congress.
For anyone concerned about the challenges we face locally, statewide and nationally, Joe Kent is the best friend they will ever have.
Please join me in confidently casting your vote for Joe Kent!
