I have been saddened to see that one of the candidates for State Senate, Kim LaSata, has chosen to continually attack her opponent with nasty, negative robocalls and mailers instead of telling me why I should vote for her.

When candidates run this type of campaign, it tells me a lot about their character and integrity. I want a representative in the State Senate who has integrity and respect for others, not someone who feels they have to attack people in order to get what they want.

I will be supporting her opponent, Dave Pagel, for State Senate. He has conducted himself with integrity throughout this race and has focused on sharing his positions. We need more of that in our representatives.
