Wow! It looks like we will have won our race by nearly 21.5%! WA CD5 is rated an R+8, making us one of the BEST PERFORMING Republican campaigns in the country this cycle! THANK YOU to our supporters and volunteers! 🇺🇸
Inlander: How much does a lb of ground beef cost?
Baumgartner: “$7 (correct). We need to increase our cattle herds to bring prices down.”
Conroy: “I have no idea. I don’t keep meat in the house.”
This November, vote for candidates who know what it’s like for your family to shop at a grocery store. 😂🇺🇸

Republican leadership create jobs growth. Democrat leadership creates tax growth. Choose wisely. 🇺🇸
Voters in Spokane County need to keep Preston McCollam in the prosecutors office. Dishonest far-left goofballs are trying to trick Spokane voters with another fake independent candidate who is actually an unqualified extremist and who would be soft on crime and drugs. Don’t fall for the con job. Vote Preston McCollam.

Republicans in Congress created new K-12 education tax credit scholarships that can deliver $ billions to Washington state kids. All Bob Ferguson has to do is say “yes” like 31 other Republican and Democratic governors have done. Do your job, Bob - join Republicans in helping make things more affordable. 🇺🇸
Thank you to the NAACP for hosting the 3rd debate of our Congressional election. I really enjoy debating, talking policy and most of all hearing from folks all across E. WA - particularly to traditionally non-Republican gatherings who might have different viewpoints.
Over the last two years we did 15 Town Halls and I think the 4 debates I’m doing may be near the most in the country for any incumbent member of Congress. (Still far short of the 19! debates and forums I did in my very first run for state Senate in 2010. ;)
Save our Dams! It would be a disaster for E. Washington and the entire state to remove our Snake River dams. It’s how our wheat gets to market and how we generate clean power for our homes. Those dams were authorized by Congress for the express purpose of river navigation and they aren’t going anywhere on my watch. 🇺🇸
WSDOT admits that tearing down the Snake River Dams will cost $5 Billion+, and contribute about a quarter million tons of new CO2 emissions, per year.
It would also add a yearly maintenance cost of about $300 Million dollars, which is about the amount WSDOT spends today on highway maintenance FOR THE ENTIRE STATE OF WASHINGTON! None of these figures include the loss of power generation or the increase in utility bills, as clean and cheap hydroelectric capacity is reduced.
Seriously, Olympia Democrats need to stop wasting money on studies to tear down these dams. This latest study, for example, was $4 million in taxpayer money.

The puppet master special interests who control Olympia are spending addicts. Giving them access to your wallets with a new income tax is like giving a crack pipe to a junkie. It will not end well. 🇺🇸
The "millionaires tax" only really makes sense as a beginning, not an end. Some Democratic lawmakers have been open about that, writes columnist Danny Westneat. seattletimes.com/seattle-new…
Every time ballots drop in Washington state, I’m reminded of Seattle Democrat Congresswoman expressing her distrust in our elections by trying to stop the certification of Trump’s first election in the House. I support the SAVE act because it will help restore trust in our elections on both sides of the aisle. 🇺🇸

We don’t usually promote our opponent’s social media, but staff asked me to make an exception for this one. 😂🇺🇸
It’s great to be supported by Ag leaders across our state. I was pleased to see the Farm Bill pass out of the House earlier this year - which my amendment to increase irrigated land in E. WA! Nobody has been a bigger advocate of extending the Columbia Basin irrigation project than Mary Dye - and it’s wonderful to have her support! 🇺🇸
Shout out to my father David who spent 40 yrs as a Professor of Forestry at Washington State University and received numerous awards and recognitions, including WSU’s Faculty Excellence award! Love you, dad!
❤️🇺🇸
I’m proud to have the endorsement of Bill Moos. His decision to hire Mike Leach was one of the best decisions in school history. 🇺🇸
