David R. Irvine: “Only Becky Edwards has already proven that she can still be herself, with integrity intact, for all the rough and tumble of elected office.'
Congressional District 2 candidate Becky Edwards visits with guests during a volunteer event at at her home in North Salt Lake, on Thursday, July 27, 2023.Tonight, while minding my own business, my cell phone rang and I was nabbed by a political pollster. Aaack! My fraud antennae went on high alert expecting to be scammed. I’m a grudging respondent, ready to hang up instantly. This poll was focused on the primary election in the 2nd Congressional District.
The questions in the next section of the poll were about issues of varying importance, mainly to Republican primary voters, although not exclusively. Each began with a summary of Becky Edwards’s legislative record or position, and then an invitation to weigh in whether that would make me more or less likely to vote for her — or whether it would make no difference.
If your mailbox is anything like mine, you are bombarded every single day with campaign letters that tell me the sky is falling because someone is coming for my guns, or the Democrats are weaponizing the Department of Justice, or the Bidens are a crime family, or we have a sissified and woke military or I need to send someone money ASAP to rein in entitlement spending. I have learned beyond question that no political party has a monopoly on virtue.
It’s one thing to talk about what ought to be done about this or that, but it’s something else entirely to build a winning network of relationships with legislators from all over the place whose life experiences, philosophies and perceptions are in contrast or even conflict with yours.
