A letter to the editor in Oil City News has raised concerns about the shifting political stance of Lisa Engebretsen, a current candidate for state Senate. The writer, Ross Schriftman, claims that Engebretsen has changed her position on key issues such as being pro-life and pro-2nd amendment.
Engebretsen’s Past Record
Schriftman points out that Engebretsen did not support a resolution to condemn an out-of-state abortion business that came to Casper, and even equated local faith communities to hate groups for praying for an end to abortion. He also notes that she has never testified in support of pro-life legislation or laws protecting women’s health and safety.
In contrast, Schriftman praises Bob Ide, another candidate in the Senate District 29 contest, as a true conservative who courageously stands up for Wyoming values and God-given rights.
A Call to Action
Schriftman urges voters to judge candidates by their actions, not just their words. He encourages voters to look beyond Engebretsen’s claims and examine her past record on key issues.
In a separate letter, Jim Yates reflects on the values his mother instilled in him, including dignity, opportunity, and acceptance for all people. He expresses concern about the direction of the country and the actions of some politicians, and encourages readers to evaluate public officials based on their character and commitment to constitutional principles.
