Boston Globe Article Features Huelskamp, Western Kansas

Tim Huelskamp
Two term Republican Congressman Tim Huelskamp is featured in an article this week published by the Boston Globe and written by Matt Viser. The lengthy article titled, “Kansas District Shuns Comprise,” has a unique look at the residents of the western Kansas.

Viser writes, “The establishment in Washington views voters in places like Jetmore as as part of the problem: They are sending staunchly conservative lawmakers to office with a mandate to oppose government spending and tax increases while avoiding any compromise. Their ideological purity has stymied efforts to set a coherent economic policy, sowing uncertainty in the business community and hampering the economic recovery. But in two dozen interviews last week during the congressional recess, the people of Jetmore and the district’s other rural communities said Washington and President Obama have it all backward. Although the fractured Tea Party groups that grew in 2010 have lost some of their national stature, the anger that gave rise to the movement is still out there.

The residents of western Kansas are tired of out-of-control spending and government growth, and Huelskamp is their response.”
