Patch's Poll: Is Joseph Courtney Doing A Good Job?
On Monday, Democrats nominated the 2nd Congressional District incumbent to run for his fourth term. Do you think Courtney deserves more time in Washington? Take our poll and add your thoughts in the comments.
Joe's remarkable record shows that he stands up for the important issues in our district. His list--and ours--includes jobs at the submarine base, the success of small businesses and exports, expanding support for the many college students in our district, and protecting Medicare and Social Security. Congressman Courtney listens and cares. We need him in Congress.
Our district is so diverse -- it's a tribute to Joe that he votes so consistently to benefit our area employers and employees-- academics, military/defense , small businesses, farmers and nonprofit agencies. If you get a chance to speak to him, you'll note that he is informed and candid, and devoted to the social services and health safety net that we all depend on. I have always supported him. I agree with Carol that we need him in Congress.
Joe has shown the ability to really work for the varied constituency he has in the 2nd CD. Students, EB workers, children, the elderly and small business. His quiet competence and ability to know the needs of the ordinary citizen are an immense asset to us all.
It is sad that you have to perpetuate the negativity that has plagued an otherwise wonderful school…Read More district. If you think that Vernon is in the "Bottom 30" because for the last 2 weeks your child has done nothing but watch movies, that is even sadder. However I do have this question for you, how do you know that is all they have done? Have you called the teacher and asked him or her? I have always found that at times what my child has said is exaggerated. I like to talk to the adult before just taking the word of my child. Maybe they are watching them part of the day which I am sure happens in any district, even ones in the top 20, at the end of the school year. However, if you are not happy with Vernon there are other options out there, instead of slamming your school system through media.
Congratulations Drew to you and your wife too. Hard work pays off and it shows. You have made a…Read More "Joyful" noise and our region is the better for it-. All the Best.
