But Republicans, judging from recent sessions, seem intent on relaxing feedlot regulations, he said. Local issues important Turning his attention to the district, Newton said pundits like to insist that people are concerned about larger issues. Thinking of personal traits that would lend themselves to his being an effective lawmaker, Newton cites imagination based on a wide range of experience. He has traveled about the world, served in the military, and holds an advance degree. His political philosophy closely matches that of the district, said Newton.
Voters are willing to help someone who has fallen through the safety net.
But they're also fiscally conservative. Other issues Touching on a few other issues, Newton, who's Pro Choice, said the Profile of Learning should be kept but thinks it should have been more adequately tested before being implemented. Additional coverage should be afforded seniors on prescription drugs, he said. And perhaps opening the U.S. marketplace to less expensive foreign produced drugs should be explored. On the issue of privacy, Newton said he doesn't believe any telemarketer should have the right to call someone at home unless that person has formally indicated they' re willing to receive such calls.
