Cliff Bentz should not waste his chance to lead
Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-Ontario), voted against certifying Pennsylvania's electoral votes, and then doubled down and voted against impeaching the current president
By now voters in Oregon's Congressional District 2 are becoming increasingly concerned that for the next two years they're going to be represented by a partisan politician. In the wake of the mess that was the siege at the U.S. Capitol, our new Congressman, Rep. Cliff Bentz (R-Ontario), voted against certifying Pennsylvania's electoral votes, and then doubled down and voted against impeaching the current president.
In a statement, Bentz wrote, "the current rush-to-judgment impeachment proceedings have only succeeded in dividing our country even more." Contrary to Bentz's feeling, Republican support for impeachment was not unprecedented or universal in the region. Rep. Jaime Herrera Buetler, a Republican from Washington, was among those who voted in favor of impeaching Trump.
