Letter: Stone’s ‘B’ NRA rating casts doubt on his support for conservative values

Letter: Objects to Andy Stone’s ‘tactics and rhetoric’ in House campaign

To the editor, Andy Stone’s tactics and rhetoric throughout his campaign are unacceptable. Recent mailers paid for by Mr. Stone, with graphical misrepresentation of Candy’s image, lies, and his verbal assaults during debates have ended my silence. I wonder how he would respond if someone treated his wife the way he has mine. I believe […]
