Voters have a great choice this time around in the 52nd District. The Republican candidate, Rafael Lopez, was elected to a local city council and has a known record that is public knowledge.
On the other hand his opponent, Luke Torian, is a relatively unknown who’s only claim to fame is that he is a leader of a local church and from all indications he is good at it.
But that hardly qualifies him to go to Richmond and represent us. Rafael has accepted all requests to debate and has researched the issues before taking a position. Torian on the other hand, stated he
would have accepted the “stimulus” money for extending the unemployment insurance and the state could merely cancel the federal mandate to continue at the same rate for all times.
He apparently cannot grasp what the word “permanent” means. We need Rafael in Richmond.
