Campaign Finance
Your union members should know that you endorsed my opponent, Jim Cooper, without even giving me a survey. Is that fair? Is it even legal?
Your members should also know that many unions (including yours, and including the one in which I\’m a steward) have quietly supported bringing in illegal aliens. That is definitely not fair.
The average union member pays dues because he expects the union to work to protect his job, not to bring in illegal aliens to replace him at his job.
Kovach for Congress
Save your job! Stop illegals!
Build that wall!
Jim Cooper voted against the Border Security bill.
