Democrat Denise Juneau wants to be Montana’s next representative in the U.S. House of Representatives, but she doesn’t seem to want to tell us where she stands on the issues. After Mike Dennison reported yesterday that she’s gay, which caught me by surprise, I checked her website: lots of her personal story, but nothing on the issues.
To borrow a term of emphasis from Bernie Sanders, I don’t give a damn whether she’s gay — that will neither hurt her among Democrats nor help her among Republicans — as long as she doesn’t run an identity politics campaign and comes clean on the issues.
I want to know where she stands on Social Security, health care, energy, foreign policy, breaking up the big banks, college tuition, progressive taxation, helping the middle class get ahead instead of falling behind.
As a citizen and voter I have a right to know where she stands on the issues. As a candidate, she has a responsibility to come clean on the issues.
In detail.
Now.
