Yeah by all means vote for your political party of choice and not for your county.  Party above all else.  Lie, cheat, steal, lack of moral integrity, or just plain not interested in doing the job... doesn&#039;t matter as long as he/she belongs to your party of choice.  Must keep the status quo no matter what.</description>

You&#039;ll be shooting yourself in the foot by electing a Democrat to further increase the supermajority and one-party rule that is ruining this state. I&#039;d rather have Mathis doing nothing as a Republican than give the Democrats one more seat. Don&#039;t fall into the trap.</description>

		<description>I am a lifelong Republican but I am voting for Drew Phelps.  Mathis has been a do nothing assemblyman starting from his first day in office.  Efforts to get him involved in saving our hospital were denied because he had accepted a large sum of money from HCCA.  I am a veteran and I have tremendous amount of respect for my fellow veterans.  However, being a veteran does not give us a right to be ineffective at taxpayers expense.  Mathis needs to go,</description>

		<description>Adventist was crammed through with an illegal election. It was a giveaway of public assets to a faith-based group, where people can only get faith-based care. 

There were other non-faith based operators interested in the Hospital, but they were railroaded out of the way.

For this and other reasons,  we implore: 

Send Mathis home with your vote.</description>

		<description>We are extremely lucky to have the Valley Voice present this. 
The people  using the hospital when an audit was asked for and ignored, suffered and many died. 
We are also fortunate to have someone young, enthusiastic, and actually eager to listen to the citizens!!! 
Wake up everyone and listen to Drew Phelps!</description>
