Lzicar letter: Retire Raul Labrador

Wow, that was some campaign piece you published on June 30 for Rep. Raul Labrador. But really, who gives a hoot about what Raul’s doing for Puerto Rico? The question you should be asking is: What’s he doing for Idaho?

The answer to that question is: nothing. Instead of focusing on Idaho issues, Raul seems to spend most of his time criticizing the Supreme Court; trying to explain away his support for Donald Trump; fixing Puerto Rico (maybe); and working to take away our public lands.

It’s time to retire Raul. I’ll be voting for James Piotrowski this fall.
