Rudy Soto is the right choice for Idaho

| September 17, 2020 1:00 AM

It was my honor to recently interview Rudy Soto, the Democratic candidate for Idaho’s Congressional District #1. Rudy’s personal story is very compiling. From his early life to his recent service in our state’s National Guard. His pro-worker platform will serve all Idahoans. His stands include;

• Right To Work

Repeal the Taft-Hartley provision allowing for States to impose Right To Work legislation

“Right To Work” is the name for a policy designed to take away rights from working people. Right To Work laws tilt the balance toward big corporations and further rig the system at the expense of working families. These laws make it harder for working people to form unions and collectively bargain for better wages, benefits and working conditions.

• Protect Multi-Employer Pensions

Rudy Soto will oppose a radical plan to raise taxes on retiree pension benefits and put catastrophic burdens on retirement plans. Protect, stabilize and expand the United States Postal Service

o Rudy Soto will be work towards protecting the constitutionally mandated Postal Service from the damage inflicted by the Pandemic and economic crisis.

o This the law requires USPS to fund the benefits for retirees up to 75 years in the future, an obligation virtually no other government entities face.

o Expand the Post Office to help serve Idahoans.

A vote for Rudy Soto will provide Idahoans in Congressional District #1 with a faithful civil servant representing all of us.
