Dixon is proven to represent right, justice

| May 12, 2022 1:00 AM

District 1B Representative Sage Dixon has been attacked under a plethora of unsavory labels associated with evils in government. Few, if any representatives, vote "correctly" on all issues regardless of our politics.

The source of much of Dixon’s criticism springs from his appointment as chairman of the ethics committee. This committee, subsequently, recommend the censuring of the now convicted rapist, conservative Rep. Aaron von Ehlinger, and also the censuring of Rep. Priscilla Giddings for her part in spreading the identity of von Ehlinger’s victim and lying to the committee. Gidding’s own actions have not been helpful to her candidacy.

The second U.S. president John Adams successfully defended the British solders accused of the Boston massacre. He believed in justice and that they were not guilty of murder despite his position being unpopular with the patriots.

Representative Dixon is an upright person whose actions on the ethics committee were based upon sound, reasonable, and upright actions. For the "patriots," please consider rape and lies are equally unacceptable, regardless if it comes from a liberal, conservative, Joe Biden or Donald Trump.

Vote for the person that has proven to represent right, good and justice.
