One of our consumate bloggers from Clark County is just steaming over the third congressional district federal legislator whom feels that to get the real scoop on what is happening locally, she needs to hold more intimate settings via coffee shop groups of less than one hundred and some times as few as thirty in various locations in her district.
She cotinues to say through her publicist and former campaign workers, that she does not want to deal with the influential stereotypes and special interests from within and from outside her district that want time, attention and possibly legislation out of her.
One of the examples she has used was a Clark County Washington event where several people got angry and screamed at her. (Though that could have been an event with the 49th legislative district? event where Sharon Wylie was new?) she's wanting more intimate events.
I can tell her that an effective way to get to know her constituents is to go out and meet them face-to-face through invitations throughout her district. And bring reporters along, that way they two can experience what is up with their congresswoman? Don't make these coffee times sound like their special interest shebangs for special interests? Casey (Bowman) This message is for you.
Get Jaime out in the four or five regional areas of her district and stop hiding BEHIND pathetic excuses? Or Jaime's next election is going to 1,000 times harder to win because you are making her look like a fool....
