Vote Sinclair!

From Michael Kacmarynski

Recently, I have gotten the opportunity to talk with State Sen. Amy Sinclair and her independent opponent. There is a big difference between the two: leadership!

Sen. Sinclair has been leading since 2005; at the time, she was a member of the Wayne County Board of Supervisors. Fast forward to 2012 when she saw unfunded mandates, and increasing one-fits-all regulation. Then, hoping to bring common sense reform to Des Moines, she ran for State Senate and won. The independent candidate has run for office six times, but only been elected once, because she fails to have a reason to run, other than to hold office.

In our conversation, I asked both candidates about policies. Sen. Sinclair has a vision and plan to help bring more common-sense reforms to Des Moines. She has passed important bipartisan legislation, and she will defend every vote she has ever taken. She is passionate about what she does. When I asked her opponent about what party she would caucus with for a committee assignment, she failed to comment. On policies, she was indecisive at best. Her answers fluctuated and were not distinct. The one definitive answer she gave? She wants to limit your First Amendment rights!

To me, the answer is clear. Sen. Sinclair is a true leader. Her opponent is simply a career politician who repeatedly fails to meet the mark for election. I urge you, vote for leadership. Vote Sinclair!
