Letter to the editor: 'Democrat' label is toxic for candidates

The Democrats are prepared to commit mass political suicide to pass the Biden/Pelosi “Build Back Better” socialist scam. This bill will add to the deficit and accelerate already out-of-control inflation while further addicting some Americans to government handouts.

The results of the elections earlier this month in Virginia and New Jersey, and state and municipal elections nationwide, proved this year having a “D” after your name is toxic. Here in Westmoreland County, two longtime and very qualified, popular politicians (John Peck and Ken Bacha) lost their jobs to less qualified candidates, probably because of the “D” after their names.

Voting for this bloated socialist spending wish list will end many Democrats’ careers in the upcoming midterm elections. Good riddance.
