In IL16 voters could ask themselves a few questions Why did Darin LaHood repeatedly vote for this war? Why did he vote for tariffs? Why did he vote to reduce benefits and access to healthcare? Why does he vote the party line every time? Why don’t voters hold him accountable? Vote Nolley

The US is now allied with Russia to lower the price of diesel, which is sky-high because of its war against Iran, which is being supported by… Russia. Make it make sense!

Darin LaHood refused to sign the original discharge petition that forced a vote on the first wave of the Epstein Files. Perhaps he can atone for that failure by signing on to this new bipartisan effort to end the cover-up?

LaHood was absent; I showed up. In other news, the sky is blue. You deserve a representative who shows up for you. I’ve done tht across the for the last 19 months, and I will do that as your next Congressman. I’ll meet for another forum or debate with my opponent any time and any place.

I lived through Ray LaHood and Bob Michael. While Ray was conservative, he and I could get along. Darin does nothing other than support Trump and Trumpism - even in the depths of crazy Magaisms. The LaHood dynasty has to end.
