Do not vote for Cathy McMorris Rodgers

Letters to the Editor

Please don’t vote for Cathy McMorris Rodgers. She lies. She says she’s for equal pay, but she voted against equal pay laws four times. She voted twice against the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act and twice against the Paycheck Fairness Act.

These laws would have further closed the gender wage gap, rooted out discrimination in pay disparities, and strengthened penalties for that discrimination.

At present, women are making only $.77 for each $1 a man makes.

She’s working in a privileged system that allows her to make more than $1 million a year, and yet she has no thought to the advancement of those who elected her.

She’s outlived her usefulness in the 5th Legislative District — she doesn’t work for the people who live in it, she’s only helping herself.
