Legislative election: Reject Boss’ nasty tactics

Despite losing eight of nine elections, perennial candidate Randy Boss is back with a negative campaign to challenge popular Republican incumbent Michelle Caldier in the primary for 26th District state representative Position 2.

Boss is not offering tangible policy ideas but instead employing his usual practices of personal attacks, baseless accusations and innuendo.

Caldier has been fully cleared of wrongdoing in a legislative ethics complaint filed by an individual aligned to Boss’s causes. Boss has gleefully touted his own ethics while falsely accusing Caldier of corruption, malfeasance and of voting to force churches to fund abortion.

Caldier has done an excellent job with an open-minded approach representing the 26th while maintaining common-sense conservative principles.

Voters need to strongly reject Boss’s nasty tactics in the Aug. 7 primary and allow the 26th to have a civil debate of the issues come November.
