Two things can be true at the same time.
I cannot disagree with the list of accomplishments of Brian Maher as stated in last week’s letter.  Each constituent has different experiences and priorities for their elected officials.  I cannot relate to most of the small business owner’s reasonings but I do have my own compliments for Brian Maher.  He is young, ambitious and his history proves he cares about our veterans and our community.  

This is why I believe he should have never been fooled by someone he has worked so closely with.  This is why I believe he is the one who perpetrated the political attack.  Yes, that’s what it was. 

I am worried that his ambition is going to continue the party over country mentality so prevalent in our politics today.  I am disappointed.  I thought my vote was given to someone who would always research and use his many contacts to represent all of us.  I am now concerned that he might be ignoring other very important information because his republican party wants him to.  

I was convinced that Mr. Maher could hold his own.  This voter needs to learn I can trust him again.

So, two things can be true at the same time.
