Republican Andy Ogles Has a Proven Conservative Track Record and deserves support.

Andy Ogles

by Rod Williams, Oct. 14, 2020- I am supporting Andy Ogles for the 5th Congressional District.  I am not in his district so can't vote for him, but I just sent a modest donation to his campaign. Supporting Republicans is nothing new; I always support Republicans. I am a lifelong conservative activist and the Republican Party best reflects my values and position on issues. My political allegiance has never been in doubt. 

This year, however, I have been more cautious about whom I support. On any checklist of issues, I agree with Republicans more than Democrats on all issues except one. I support the Constitutional peaceful transfer of power and oppose coup attempts. For me, this is the most important issue in this election. Despite no proof that the 2020 election was stolen, many Republican candidates continue to claim it was and refuse to condemn the attempted coup.  I cannot support these candidates. 

Some states are on the verge of putting in office people who supported the fake electors ploy or who are affiliated with militant groups that participated in the January 6th violent attempt to stop the certification of election results. I have contributed to the campaign of the Democrat opponent of some of these Republicans.  For the first time ever, I think this election cycle, I probably sent more money to Democrat candidates than Republican candidates. 

I am late deciding to support Ogles. I did not know where he stood on the issue that is most important to me. I have followed the campaign closely, however, and I have not heard Andy Ogles defend the Trump coup attempt or deny that Biden legitimately won the 2020 election. Ogles has been silent on this issue as far as I know.  I wish he would openly condemn the coup attempt, but I will accept silence.

Andy Ogles has a proven conservative record and I support his candidacy.  The following article profiles Andy Ogles and examines his record.

Who could have guessed record-high inflation and 87,000 new IRS agents are not what voters want from their elected officials while the country recovers from a pandemic?
