Margaret Winter: Don’t forget, Denham helped shut down the government

Much has been made of Jeff Denham’s support of Donald Trump, but let’s not forget that in 2013 Denham supported Ted Cruz and stood by him as he shut down our government – a dangerous and irresponsible ploy that cost America $24 billion. Ted Cruz, Jeff Denham and the rest of the current obstructionist, do-nothing Congress have done enough damage. Vote for Michael Eggman – maybe a beekeeper might have some ideas about how to get people working together.

Margaret Winter, Turlock
