Scott, unlike others, serves interests of his constituents

Re editorial “Scott for U.S. Senate,” Sept. 1-3 edition:
Thank you for recommending that Congressman Robert C. “Bobby” Scott become U.S. Sen. Robert C. “Bobby” Scott.
Unlike too many lawmakers from both sides of the aisle, Rep. Scott actually is doing his best to serve the interests of his constituents, not corporate lobbyists.
Senators such as Charles Schumer of New York and Joe Manchin of West Virginai should take lessons from Rep. Scott.
Sen. Schumer sponsored legislation to widen airplane seats. The homeless woman that I talked to at the bus plaza last week needed money for food, not wider airplane seats.
Sen. Manchin raised his daughter, Heather Bresch, to be such a thoughtful, caring person. That is why she, as CEO of Mylan pharmaceutical company, raised the price of Epipens from $100 to $600. This is a life-saving drug used during life-threatening allergic reactions.
Sen. Manchin refused to sign a letter put forth by other lawmakers condemning his daughter’s actions. This murderous price hike unnecessarily will cost lives.
For Rep. Scott, I’ll vote blue for Democrat. For senators like Joe Manchin, they need to be told to hold their breath until they are blue in the face to receive any further political help from the Democratic National Committee.
Let Sen. Manchin get his political money from his greedy daughter!
