There are 12 counties in Washington's 5th Congressional District, and last weekend I had the privilege of addressing the GOP leadership of all 12 at the same time in Colfax. I appreciated the opportunity to speak with our dedicated party leaders about the campaign, policy issues and things that affect them and the lives of their families.
Being down on the Palouse, one issue that came up in our conversations was the challenge of low wheat prices that local farmers are facing. It reinforces the need for us to protect our dams which are essential for transportation and for keeping electricity costs low – as well as the importance of growing markets for our agricultural produce.
