Breckenridge has run positive campaign

This is intended to be in response to all of the opinion letters that have been negative towards Wes Breckenridge. Through his entire time in candidacy, Wes has insisted on running a positive campaign. As a woman with integrity and respect for the other candidates, I completely agree. As his daughter and a strong supporter of him, it is so hard to see people try to bring him down. Most of these people writing hateful things have not taken the time to talk with him one on one and express their concerns. He wants you to come to him. He wants to make sure you know his real opinion on issues, not just telling you what you want to hear.

According to a few letters previously written, Wes does not support women’s rights because of his association with Jeff Hoebelheinrich. This letter was trying to make lemonade out of oranges. Both men have daughters and wonderful women in their lives that they respect beyond words. Wes has two daughters, me included, and a wife of 27 years. He would do anything to make sure we would have the rights we deserve. He has never done anything to prove their statement true or to make people assume he does not support women. The most important people in his life are women. There is no evidence to support that letter. Just people being hateful.

Concerning the letter written by John Gerkin on May 12, it was just straight offensive. This was an unintelligent, hateful letter aimed only to prove how negligent and disrespectful he is. That letter shows how little he knows about anything. He needs to educate himself instead of insulting someone’s newly discovered passion. He should stick to running his Inn, not running his mouth. I know of no personal history between Gerkin and Wes, which makes this even more disrespectful.

Again, this was not aimed to disregard Wes’ wishes for a positive campaign, this was aimed to be justice for the untrue and insulting comments made about my father. He is a strong man who I can count on to triumph, regardless of foolish attempts to bring him down. He will be our next State Representative, and he will get there with the same integrity and morals he started this campaign with. I am fully supporting Wes Breckenridge for State Representative.
