Mason Kilbourn: It’s time we get real representation in the Sixth District

Let’s face it, for the past 16 years, the Sixth District of Virginia has suffered from a lack of any serious representation in Congress.

You remember Bob Goodlatte: he was going to do six terms and stayed for 13, the last 10 years of which he did nothing but hide from his constituents and wait for his cushy government retirement.

In 2018 , his understudy, Ben Cline, took over and has yet to do anything positive for the people of the Sixth District. At one point, he had voted “NO” 97% of the time. Mr. Cline is more interested in shutting down the government and overturning a fair election with fake electors than doing anything to help his constituents.

A couple of Mr. Cline’s finer achievements:

  • He voted NO for the PAWS Act to provide service dogs for veterans’ with PTSD. He did, however, manage to get a photo op with veterans and their dogs after it passed without his help.
  • He also voted NO to cap the cost of life saving insulin at $35 for his constituents suffering from Diabetes. His comment was that they should lose weight and exercise more.
  • He voted NO to supplementing infant formula during the Covid-19 shortage.
  • He voted NO to stopping the practice of soaring show horses; he was one of only seven congressmen in the whole country to do so.)

What kind of person does these things?

This year, we have a clear choice for real representation in Ken Mitchell. A 24-year military veteran who spent six years working in the White House, Ken Mitchell is also a small business owner and a small-scale farmer. His motto for the Sixth District is: “We leave no one behind.”

Vote Ken Mitchell for Congress on Nov. 5th.
