ELKHART — U.S. Rep. Jackie Walorski says she's going to continue to fight government bureaucracy.
"We need to beat government regulations off the back of companies that are trying to do good things in our communities," the GOP lawmaker said in a speech Monday to the Elkhart Rotary Club.

what does Jackie know about Poverty? Also, wasn't she , just 4 years ago complaining that President Obama had not met his campaign promise of shutting down Gitmo? Now, she wants it kept open, REALLY? #doublestandardmuch?
Walorski travels around to the businesses that fund her 'war chest' promising less taxes and regulations. Who does that hurt? Our cities and counties coffers. All across the country we need representatives representing the people.
She is cozy with those who are well off. Those pesky regulations hurt companies that cannot pollute the air and water or make the workplace safe. They get in the way of advancing the elite at the expense of Joe Average. Well done Jackie
she has time for a rotary meeting but no time to participate in a town hall debate? embarrassing.....what is her stance on Trump? What is her stance on the accusations that the elections are being rigged and not fair? Where's Jackie?
