I was so disheartened to see yet another political attack ad on the TV recently.

This ad attacked Andy Hill, who is running for State Senate in the 45th Legislative District.

The ad said that Andy is untrustworthy and has a hidden agenda. Usually I ignore this type of mudslinging, but I happen to know Andy Hill. He has coached my kids in soccer and he has tutored my kids in the classroom. He has spent countless hours serving on the boards of the PTA and the local soccer association. He recently beat lung cancer.

He is a good person, and to attack him this way is exactly why so many people are fed up and have tuned out of the political process. Perhaps the best way to combat this is to vote out those that feel the only way to win is to play dirty. I’ll be voting for Andy Hill, and I advise your readers not to believe any of the attacks that are thrown at him in the future.
