What do you want from your next US Rep?

by | Oct 1, 2019 | Newton | 4 comments

What are the top three qualities you want to see in the replacement for U.S. Representative Joseph Kennedy III, who will be challenging Senator Ed Markey in 2020, as Newton’s representative to Congress?

Mine:

  • Markey/Ocasio-Cortez/Green New Deal-level of commitment to fighting climate change
  • Preferably a women, person-of-color, or both
  • Committed to raise taxes on the top 5%

    Sean…Isn’t the premise of V14 to discuss issues about Newton…local, not state, national or international issues?

      Electing Newton’s congress-critter?
      Possibly a Newtonian?

    Top 3:

    Open to working with President Trump if re-elected

    — on keeping economy strong with low unemployment

    — on keeping military defense strong

    — on enhancing border security and enforcement (with whatever technology engineers recommend, not necessarily physical wall)
