Dear Editor: People in high places and with significant influence have, without credible substantiation, called into question the integrity of the locally directed American election system beginning with the 2020 election. This is exceptionally unfortunate and very serious, with democracy-ruining consequences, which can now easily find expression in the November elections right here in our own Loudoun County.…

Dear Editor: In a recent public forum with challenger Hung Cao, Rep. Jennifer Wexton said, “The biggest thing we can do is pay someone a living wage.” She also said Democrats have made higher wages a priority. U.S. workers got higher wages, all right. But the Democrats had nothing to do with it. Those wage…
By Charles Houston My childhood breakfasts often featured milk that had soured. (Cue the bad memories.) Once away at college I had a chance to have breakfast my way, so I signed up for fresh chocolate milk every morning. The smooth sweet taste was a treat. A treat for about a week. By then I…

Nothing wrong with that until you see the two of them appear in…
Dear Editor: Has anyone seen Wexton? When? Where? Wexton wasn’t at our July 4th parade. She wasn’t at our County Fair. Her district office is always closed. She never shows up for anything. I heard rumor that Wexton was spotted not too long ago taking an all-expense paid congressional junket to the Far East. Must…

The existing plans detail the inclusion of five soccer fields, two baseball fields and one softball field, maintenance structures, restrooms and concession facilities. …
Dear Editor: Hung Cao’s policies are simple: Government needs to stay out of our businesses and out of our homes. Businesses and residents in the 10th Congressional District are suffering under the weight of historic inflation inflicted on us by the current administration’s policies that have chipped away at our prosperity. The so-called $1.9 trillion…
