Dear Editor:
I am writing to you as a Westfield resident, a mother, and a disabled veteran. I served this country to protect the stability and dignity of our institutions, yet today I find myself deeply concerned by the direction of our federal leadership.
As we enter tax filing season, the threat of another government shutdown – following the one we endured just months ago – is a crisis for families like mine who are already struggling. We need a functional government that prioritizes the economic well-being of its citizens over political theater.
Furthermore, as the child of an immigrant, I find the current focus on aggressive ICE funding and the targeting of vulnerable communities – including immigrants and transgender people – to be a distraction from the real issues facing Hamilton County.
Our neighbors are not the problem; the problem is a leadership that governs through division and divertissement, such as the bizarre focus on purchasing Greenland, while our own people struggle.
I served to protect the rights of all Americans. I urge our representatives, including Victoria Spartz, to prioritize a clean budget and return to the serious work of governing. Our children deserve to grow up in a country that values stability and inclusivity over partisan agendas.
Janet Franklin
Westfield
