There was an important gaming vote Monday night that only passed by two voted. Can you find out if Schoder missed it because of this “campaign kick-off event?” If so, what does that say about the candidate?

Gabriel. One vote does not make a candidate. As a matter of fact Curt left the floor and came to his event directly after. It’s been my experience that people should focus on what someone does well, not immediately throw out conjecture. Curt Schroder does and has done plenty for John Q. Public. If you would check all of his accomplishments you wouldn’t have even posed that question.

Like secretly voting for a pay raise at midnight! Yeah, he really represents the public.

And like introducing the legislative reforms– opposed by leaders in both parties– that would help prevent votes like the pay raise from happening again!

The real, final, table games vote is still forthcoming, and Rep. Schroder has been merciless in standing up against those interested in furthering that boondoggle. This is despite the fact that it most assuredly will pass anyway.

So, really, it’s just another example him standing up for what’s right when lesser politicos would be running up the white flag and seeing what they could sell their vote for. They even cut off his audio on the house floor while he was telling it like it is to the Speaker:

It’s a shame Dan never got a chance to talk about how well that kick-off event went, by the way. There is some coverage here, though:

I have gotten to know Curt over the past year through our tea party efforts to get gov’t under control and Curt has been there fighting with us. As a state rep he led the fight against EFCA, higher taxes, higher spending, and gaming shenanigans .. to name a few. His forcefull, principled and persuasive speeches can be found on youtube.
He is a strong conservative warrior not afraid to fight to preserve the freedoms for future generations. He is the first candidate I have ever maxed out with in contributions because I feel responsible to do my part in preserving freedoms for future generations of Americans. If we don’t stand up now to reverse this socialist tsunami, Socialism WILL destroy this country. Americans for freedom and prosperity – help Curt get elected.
P.S. Welch is not a conservative. Welch said he voted for Sestak, one of the most radical liberals in Congress.

What about the pay raise and pension jack up? What’s the answer to that?

@ Mark:

Curt introduced reform legislation opposed by leaders in both houses to prevent votes like the pay raise from happening.

Also, he is amongst the most articulate state reps in talking about the budget bomb in 2012. He released quite a number of op-eds about it during the budget process.

Sam Rohrer and Mike Folmer are probably two additional leaders in this regard, and they have both endorsed Rep. Schroder.

“Curt introduced reform legislation opposed by leaders in both houses to prevent votes like the pay raise from happening”

…But then voted for a midnight pay raise???
