Demand Congressman Larsen Debate Democratic Opponent Mike Lapointe!
Incumbent Congressman Rick Larsen of Washington's 2nd Congressional District refuses to acknowledge his Democratic primary opponent Mike Lapointe, and has repeatedly refused to meet with or debate Mike on the issues! Demand that Rep. Larsen debate Mike Lapointe on the issues so the public can make an informed decision in the August primary.
Why is this important?
Congressman Rick Larsen has made a habit of late, of ignoring the concerns of his constituents. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he vote no on the TPA, he voted yes anyways. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he not support the TPP, he did anyways. When the people of the 2nd CD demanded he not support coal and oil trains passing through the district, and new coal and oil terminals being built, he did so anyways. And when they demanded he use his super delegate vote to support Bernie Sanders after his sweeping win of Washington State, Rick insisted on supporting Hillary and mocked Bernie supporters. Larsen has for too long dodged the issues, and now that he has a more progressive primary opponent (Mike Lapointe), Rick Larsen refuses to debate, let alone meet with him. So please stand with me and demand that Congressman Larsen debate Mike Lapointe on the issues so that come the August primary, voters can make a more informed choice about who they want in office.
