Friends,
As an economist specializing in pensions, Social Security, and the impact of tax policy on employment levels, I have advised members of Congress by testifying to the Joint Economic Committee and answering their questions.
In my experience, most members of Congress listen to presentations briefly and then assess the suggested outcomes, relying heavily on their staff for detailed analysis. Understanding the details takes too much effort, and honestly, most people cannot do it.
Bob Lorinser is different.
He is intelligent, attentive, and actively seeks to understand all issues.
Bob has dedicated the past two years to engaging with voters throughout the district, clearly articulating his well-thought-out positions on various issues, without relying on consultants.
His comprehensive discussions on education and the environment on his website, which far surpass those of his opponents, showcase his depth of understanding and unwavering commitment to the voters and the issues.
I first met Bob during his initial campaign two years ago, and since then, we have regularly discussed economic issues and developed a friendship. His willingness to engage in in-depth debates and revise his positions, such as on carbon tax, reflects his open-mindedness and commitment to thoughtful decision-making.
This open-mindedness assures me that he will always consider and respect the concerns of the voters, even if they differ from his own.
We both share a belief in the inherent worth and dignity of every individual, and I greatly admire Bob's conviction that the foundation of democracy depends on good people running for office at all levels.
Sincerely,
