Letter: Rep. Newhouse needs to fight detractors of DOE and Obamacare

As a newcomer to this area, there are many nice things here, but one that I do not approve of is the congressman who purports to represent our district, Dan Newhouse.

Given the thousands of jobs and billions of dollars the Department of Energy and Obamacare have brought here, I would expect Mr. Newhouse to loudly and immediately contradict their detractors.

Mr. Newhouse has experience working with a wide variety of people, which might be extraordinarily useful in today's hyper-partisan political climate.
