LETTER: Luetkemeyer will keep campaign promise to work on affordable health care

By Paul Sloca, press secretary, Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer

Congressman Blaine Luetkemeyer understands the importance of affordable health care and your Jan. 14 letter from Ron Sergent reflect concerns being voiced to Blaine by the people of the Ninth Congressional District.

As a candidate for Congress back on June 18, Blaine signed the DividedWeFail.org pledge cited by Mr. Sergent.

In the pledge, Blaine committed to working across party lines to support legislation providing people with access to quality, affordable health care; strengthen Social Security; provide greater access to retirement plans; and develop policies that ensure all workers, regardless of age, can continue to work and contribute to society.

Blaine continues to stand by that pledge as a member of Congress because that’s what the people of the Ninth District expect.
