To the Editor:

We want to make sure all concerned, conservative voters in Congressional District 7 are aware of the importance of voting in the primary election on Aug. 13. Better yet vote any time before Aug. 13 at the courthouse in your county. Bring your mail-in ballot to the courthouse to ensure that it is counted.

We support 33-year-old Royce White, the endorsed Republican candidate for U.S. Senate winning 67 percent of the state convention delegates’ votes on the first ballot.

Steve Boyd, 39, is running against second term Michelle Fischbach for U.S. House of Representatives. The votes remained close on three ballots at the District Republican Convention. Neither candidate was able to secure 60 percent of the vote for an endorsement. We support Steve Boyd, a hard-working Christian man of high principles, a strong supporter for life, and our American Constitution. You may have seen him walking in one of 37 parades to date, at one of countless town hall meetings he has attended, or one of the 10 county fairs so far, or maybe getting his information to voters door to door, like he has at over 12,000 homes across Congressional District 7.

One candidate for U.S. Senate and one for U.S. House of Representatives will win the primary election in August to be on the ballot for the November election. We believe we need fresh blood and people of strong conviction who will not be bought off in congress. Let your voice be heard by voting and encourage your friends to vote in the primary Aug. 13.
