Apparently Glenn Rohrer is attempting to win the primary election by misrepresenting his opponent Shawn Keough’s voting record. Two examples of his misrepresentation follow. I am sure there are more.

First, he is stating that Shawn supported “Obamacare.” Shawn never supported “Obamacare” and in fact fought it by supporting the State Insurance Exchange, which is a voluntary program that allows citizens to buy insurance at competitive rates and avoid the penalties under Obamacare for not having insurance.

The second example is Mr. Rohrer stating in a forum that Shawn has a “D” rating from NRA. This is false. Her NRA ratings since she has been in office have been all “A” except for two “Bs.” This can be checked by any NRA member on the NRA website.

I suggest, Mr. Rohrer, that you stop misrepresenting your opponent’s record and base your campaign on the truth.
