Jacky Rosen has what it takes to represent Nevada in Congress

I take exception to the recent letter writer who questioned Jacky Rosen’s qualifications to be a representative of our state.

To set the record straight, she is nothing like Donald Trump in that she was not given a war chest of money to begin her career. She started out with modest means and became a success through hard work and perseverance.

In her short tenure in Washington, Jacky has supported Nevadans in a way that does not follow populist views. She has tried to protect our national treasures and fought against Yucca Mountain.

We can do better to heal Congress with a person who does not have a long resume. Sometimes new ideas can be positive and not politically popular.

THE LATEST
LETTER: Tired rhetoric on green energy

Nevadans should look west to California, where 100 percent of that huge state’s energy was recently supplied by renewable sources for a stretch of more than nine hours.

LETTER: Biden confused over inflation.

All this mismanagement has resulted in the national debt rising at a very alarming rate.

LETTER: Still after the Jan. 6 protesters

So more than three years after the riot, the government is still using taxpayer money and manpower in its vendetta to ferret out Donald Trump supporters.

LETTER: Columbia kids need to learn to pay their own way

Frankly, if I had kids at Columbia who participated in these “protests,” I’d yank them out of school, toss their stuff onto the lawn and tell them to get a job, go live in the real world and pay your own way.

LETTER: Here’s the real threat to democracy

In the 2020 election, Mr. Biden ran on promises he has failed to keep. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.
