Letter: Sold on Tyll's message, methodology

The word cry-baby came to mind as I read Sen. Dick Woodbury doesn’t like the Clean Elections Law by which he chose to run. That option requires no work to fund a campaign; just take $20,000 of your taxes. And take it he did. Now Woodbury complains about the law, which he co-sponsored in 200...

Letter: Woodbury rejects special interests

I’ve been a longtime supporter of Sen. Dick Woodbury. I appreciate the fact that as an independent he works for all of his constituents, not just Republicans or Democrats.  As a respected economist, he is uniquely qualified to help deal with our state’s challenging financial situ...

We can elect a man with a record of service, leadership and achievement to Senate District 11: Chris Tyll. He's a decorated Navy veteran with combat service.
