The national media is one of the least trusted professions, yet we allow the same media to shape and push an opinion that totally misrepresents who Herschel Walker is.
We need Herschel Walker to represent Georgia values in Washington D.C. Our current senator rubber stamps every Biden agenda, resulting in a weaker America. He voted to weaken our energy independence by stopping construction of the Keystone Pipeline, voted to hire 86,000 more IRS agents to harass taxpayers while voting against hiring 18,000 border patrol agents to curb the influx of almost three million people who entered the United States illegally in last twelve months.
On the other hand, Herschel Walker, who has been forthcoming about his troubled past, authored a book in 2009, Breaking Free, highlighting how he overcame his mental illness. He has given hundreds of speeches using his testimony to help others to get the help they need, saying that there is no shame in asking for help dealing with their mental illness. His opponent clipped a video that misrepresented one of the testimonial interviews Herschel and his ex-wife participated in their efforts to help others.
It’s deeds, not words, that influence my vote. On Dec. 6, I will be voting for Herschel Walker who knows he is not a perfect man but is trying every day to help others. I would encourage everyone to do some research on both candidates. Anyone who takes the time to honestly research our Senatorial candidates will know their choice will be an easy one. Please vote for Herschel Walker for U.S. Senate.
