Golding deserves to be re-elected

Here are some reflections on the legislative forum at Mt Vernon High School with District 83 Rep. Cindy Golding and her opponent Kent McNally recently:

To my mind the question arises, "What kind of representative should a person in District 83 want representing them over in the Legislature?" I would think they would want someone who is hard-working, up to speed on key issues, and someone who shares their concerns on statewide issues.There are many politicians that don't fit that description, who are beholden to big money, special interest groups.

One person who does fill that description is Golding. My wife Nanci and I have gotten to know Cindy and her astute husband Joseph over the last year, and we hold them in highest regard. Cindy demonstrated a firm grasp of the key issues facing Iowans during this legislative forum, and has shown a record of good accomplishments in the state legislature. She deserves to be re-elected.
