Why I’m voting for Bernadette Greene-Placentia in November

OPINION — When I read Abe Hamadeh’s recent newsletter, I see that he has been very helpful to individuals struggling with the bureaucracy (otherwise known as our hardworking, understaffed Civil Service) and supportive of the military and police. But what about the 400,000 Arizonans who lost their SNAP food benefits and those who will not be able to afford health insurance after the election because of the Big Beautiful Bill his vote helped put into law?

What about his vote against the War Powers Act that might have stopped our war on Iran that is bringing suffering to people here and all over the world?

He refuses to engage with his Congressional District 8 constituents unless they are known supporters.

Take a look at the website of Abe’s opponent Bernadette Greene-Placentia. She is a woman who has struggled with real-life problems, supported her family as an interstate truck driver, built it into a business and is now able to serve her country.

She is out talking to Democrats, Independents, Republicans, ready to work with all of them, wanting to earn your vote so she can help find solutions to the real problems of Arizonans — housing and healthcare, jobs and education.

Check out both of these candidates and see which one will do you the most good.

Bernadette Greene-Placentia is seeking to unseat incumbent Abe Hamadeh in CD 8, which includes parts of Glendale, Peoria, north Phoenix, Sun City, Sun City West and Surprise.
