Letter: Vote for Parry

(Rick Bowmer | AP file photo) Utah's 1st Congressional District Democratic candidate Darren Parry poses for photographs in front of the Utah State Capitol on Aug. 13, 2020, in Salt Lake City.

I hate politics. All my life, I’ve voted independent. No party lines — just voting for who I believed would do the best job. And it sure is hard to sift thru the muck to decide in whom to put our trust. Politicians tell of changes they’ll make and promises they’ll keep, yet so often we feel we’ve been abandoned on the side of the road.

Republicans say they can straighten things out. Democrats say they can do better. It would be great if they wouldn’t be afraid to step over the line, put their good ideas together, take advantage of knowledge and ideas from both sides, and, darn it, do what’s right. Oh, I wish.

There is one person running for office who wants to get people to work together. That person is Darren Parry. He is a “bridge builder.” Darren is also an advocate for people who are underprivileged. He wants quality education available for everyone. He cares about our environment and land use.

I didn’t know Darren from years past, but he’s become a close family friend and we do know who he is today. He is a good, honest man of true integrity.

A vote for Darren Parry for U.S. House of Representatives District 1 is a vote for what’s good for Utah and for our country.
