VTGOP Response to Congresswoman Becca Balint

our congressional representative Becca ballant has been a clear departure from the kind of congressional Representatives that Vermont has had for its long history many vermonters have never seen someone so distinctly partisan in this role Bal is persistently disrespectful to other Republican members of Congress and she engages in the worst kind of partisan games which included her and every other Democrat working with Matt gates to vacate the speaker's office unfortunately Washington has changed her she's a completely different person than the state senator that I served with in moner she is presenting herself as a resistance Democrat first and a Vermon last and her antagonistic approach is not helping Vermont the reality is Republicans control the house the Senate and the white house now back home IM AER vermers are watching Republicans and Democrats trying to work together to solve the problems that are facing our people and I'm concerned that balance identity is too wrapped up in her political ideology for her to ever be willing or able to successfully reach across the aisle with any Republicans to address issues of affordability Public Safety housing and a host of other issues instead of a parade of complaints many Republicans would like to see her finding issues where vermers are in agreement with the new Administration and I think there's a couple opportunities I think there's a renewed focus on healthy foods and that's something that Vermont is known for that vermonter um see as part of our identity um something that I think secretary Kennedy is is bringing into the administration that's an area of of common agreement um just a few weeks ago we had a border agent shot and killed here in Vermont and yet representative balent has virtually ignored the plague of problems that we've had at our northern border Democrats like balant can't plan to just hold opposition rallies every 6 weeks and think things are going to get better they have to come to the table and be willing to be part of the solution not part of some kind of permanent activist base that's going to oppose everything that Republicans are doing
