KUHL: Democrat-supporting student has faith in Bourne

Now more than ever, I am concerned about the growing political divide in our country that is pitting neighbor against neighbor and turning our democracy into a political game show. Our ideological differences seem to matter more than what unites us and harsh words and hate have taken precedence over reason and good policy.

BOURNE: Clark should participate in candidate forum

Last election, the Litchfield Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidate forum. It served as an important opportunity for voters to hear from local candidates on issues facing our communities and our state.  This forum was neutral, well-respected, well-attended, and aired on the radio. I attended the forum, not only as a candidate to share my point of view, but also as an interested voter of Montgomery County. At the time, Dillon Clark, who is now my opponent, was running for […]

EDITORIAL: Iowa media scared of challenging the status quo in political debates

Being a third party has its own challenges. A clear example is the Libertarian and the fight for ballot access and major party status that has been going on since its inception in 1971. As a result of the 2016 presidential election, Libertarian affiliates in 42 states earned major or recognized status, as well as reduced ballot access thresholds. Iowa just happened to be one of these states, holding their first-ever Libertarian caucus earlier this year, with Jake "J.D." Porter […]

COMMENTARY: Media coverage of alternative candidates shouldn’t include attacks

(Heartland Newsfeed) -- In an election cycle where Libertarian Party and Green Party candidates have received the most media coverage in years, there are still those in the mainstream media who want to drag candidates through the mud and attack their past. This has happened to several candidates over the past months and as of Friday, Ohio House candidate Kryssi Wichers became another target of the media. Spencer Remoquillo of the Lancaster Eagle-Gazette put out a hit piece on Wichers, who […]
