Ward walks the talk
In watching the recent debate between John Ward and Chris Kellett, I was struck by something Rep. Ward said: that he doesn’t just talk the talk, he walks the walk. It’s what we really want from all of our elected officials and the promises they make while campaigning, and in Rep. Ward’s case, we actually get that.
Rep. Ward doesn’t just say he’ll be at community meetings and district events; he actually shows up and participates. He doesn’t just say he’ll respond to constituent requests, he actually does, and fast too! Rep. Ward doesn’t just talk about creating jobs, he’s a member of the bipartisan Small Business Caucus and has authored dozens of bills aimed at helping businesses create jobs. And Rep. Ward doesn’t just say he fights for our values, he actually does. As the endorsed candidate for both the NRA and Minnesota Citizens Concerned for Life, he has put our district and our values ahead of party politics.
My personal experience reinforces this. When we had concerns about our house insurance increases, John gave us helpful and immediate advice. When a friend had difficulties with her mortgage banker, John jumped right in to help. Isn’t that what we want and treasure in our representatives?
We get a lot of “talk” from our candidates, but little “walk” once they’re elected. We’re fortunate right now to have a state representative who walks the walk. I’ll be voting to keep Ward in office on November 6. I hope you’ll join me.

Add commentI'll vote against Ward
As a democrat, Ward will be voting for Obama. That disqualifies him.
No,not what I want
Help with house insurance increases and mortgage banker problems
is what we want and treasure in our representative?.
No, that is definitely not what I want in my rerpresentative.
No wonder this country is in shambles, educated people can't take care of their so-called problems themselves.
If I had actually ask for help from a rep. for these issues, I would never admit it. How could anyone possibly help everyone in the district with these small problems?
Think about it.
The job requires more than that. Help yourself and others
with the small problems.What values is he "fighting" for?
Wake up to Little Johnny
Little Johnny has done nothing for anyone in his district unless it puts votes in his column. I beg you to research anything he has ever done and you'll find it always ends in VOTE FOR ME. Look at the lies he has told the Veterans just to get votes. Look at the abuse he has done to the handicapped in this area (and he's handicapped). His bottom line: votes. HEY JOHNNY, HOW ABOUT A PUBLIC FORUM/MEET AND GREET WITH A ONE WEEK ADVANCE NOTICE OF TIME AND PLACE, WITHOUT A TIME LIMIT, (within reason). One on one with all of your constituents. C'mon Little Johnny, you can handle it. Mikey O would probably be there to stick up for you and twist the story in the next days paper.
Charlie, The content on your
Charlie,
The content on your letter is completely lost because of the disrespectful manner in which you refer to our elected officials. You might not like him, you might not agree with him, but calling him "Little Johnny" is childish at best and shows very immature behavior on your part.
I'm sure Mike does not appreciate being referred to as "Mickey O" either. It's very disrespectful.
Earned Names
Hey Okey, Little Johnny, Mikey O and Okey Donkey are all earned names. If I refer to you as someone other than what you like, it's because you earned it.
