Letter to the editor: Vote out incumbents

Potential voter: Are you dissatisfied with our federal, state and local governments? I believe the solution lies in voting out long-term incumbents. If a government is corrupt, not serving all its constituents, lacking transparency or simply failing to perform its duties, the incumbent is ultimately accountable. In any other profession, someone who has held a position for 10 years or more and is consistently losing the confidence of their employer would be replaced.

Therefore, the critical question for this election is: Are you truly happy with your government? Change is essential for progress.

Consider our state government, which is the largest in the country, yet struggles with basic functionality. Our federal government often acts with immaturity, and local governments are frequently criticized for a lack of transparency and for spending more on reelection campaigns than they will ever earn from their positions.

This year, the decision is straightforward: Vote them all out. It’s time for a fresh start.

Good luck.
