As the 3rd Congressional District primary approaches, it is with great pleasure and joy that I wholeheartedly support longtime Democrat Robert Zimmerman for Congress. His background in business, communications and more indicates that he is the perfect candidate to represent us in Congress.

Two former presidents hold him in high esteem. President Bill Clinton nominated him to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Presidential Commission and later President Barack Obama nominated Robert to the National Council for the Humanities.

Other elected officials have sought his counsel on a regular basis regarding legislation affecting the congressional district. This reflects and indicates Robert’s ongoing knowledge of congressional issues at hand and how they have developed through the years.

Robert Zimmerman has the necessary and unique qualifications for this office, particularly during these very rough times politically, i.e., he has the temperament to hold this position. By that, I mean he will stand for the issues that will affect constituents’ lives in our district without caving in to misinformation and right-wing assaults. He will give the facts – just the facts, man, just the facts – not lies and twisted misinformation. Robert has a conscience and cannot fathom doing anything but tell the truth. He will fight the good fight.

He will vociferously defend such critical issues that matter to us including a) Roe v. Wade, b) gun legislation, c) voting rights, d) Medicare for All, e) Social Security and more. Robert is determined and driven to protect us constituents legislatively.

At this time, the United States has reached a very dangerous precipice. We are about ready to lose our democracy. Therefore, I am urging voters to cast their vote for Robert Zimmerman for Congress. I can assure you that he will fight the good fight to protect and save our democracy.
