Supports Schrad

Knoxville —

To the editor:

Compromise is a dirty word to some people, but the inability to get things done politically is a hindrance to this country. Everyone is equal in the rights we hold dear. Rich, poor and the rest of us need to elect someone who knows what it takes to create good laws that are fair to all citizens. Roughly half of Americans lean towards one party or the other. In actual numbers, it’s around 1/3 for each party and 1/3 independent. To me that means elected people must be able to compromise so that all of us have some say in what laws are enacted.

We need someone who has the experience of balancing a government budget and getting people with divergent viewpoints to come together. Dick Schrad is someone who can do that. I have known Dick for a number of years and feel he is very capable of bring all sides to the table. He has experience in running a private business, writing a government budget and not least of all, fighting for his country.
