If you’re not careful, you could be voting against your interests

I just received my ballot in the mail for the June election and couldn’t help but think that if I had run for U.S. Senate, I might have a chance with so many candidates competing this year. It’s good to do your homework before you mark your ballot because if you’re not careful, you might find you’re voting against your and your family’s best interests.

Thank goodness that in the North County we have two great candidates we can support in the 5th and 1st districts, Debbie Arnold and John Peschong — two people who will be looking out for our families, our jobs and our property rights.

Paul Bareis, Atascadero
