I don't always accomplish everything I set out to do. Sometimes I encounter problems that I cannot overcome. Sometimes my best efforts are not enough to make the things I want to happen actually happen. At least Wentworth keeps trying. If I thought he wasn't making an honest effort I'd feel differently, but I believe he's doing everything possible given the circumstances. I intend to vote for him again, and I will continue to write to him and encourage his efforts on our behalf.

It's the guys who said they'd support campus carry and then voted no with whom I am most angry.

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

Well, it's frustrating but I'm not sure I want to automatically throw out the incumbent without knowing who the alternative is. I'm in Wentworth's district, and I'm inclined to keep him. I think he did his best, given the framework of rules in which he had to work. I believe he'll continue to try accomplish the things we all want, the freedom to exercise our 2nd amendment rights.

Before I consider voting for someone else, they're going to have to do a LOT of convincing as to how they could do better.

Those who have other senators and representatives may feel differently.
