Since Sen. Earle McCormick has decided not to run for re-election in Senate District 21, a Republican caucus will be held on Friday for the voters in this district to select a new candidate for this seat.

My strong recommendation for such a candidate is Ryan Wheaton. He is a man of principle who stands for the integrity of the family, proven by his stance that is unapologetically pro-life and pro-traditional marriage.

With the confusing and disordered situations facing us today, we need someone who will competently represent us. Wheaton is such a man.

I urge Senate District 21 voters to support Wheaton at the upcoming caucus.
