Editor,
I just read your article regard the reauthorization of the federal Violence Against Women Act noting that while Senator John Tester led the vote for this, our other senator did not, nor did our only congressman. In a state with a huge problem with violence against women, particularly against Native women, I find this appalling. There can be no justification for not supporting any act which seeks to lessen violence against women. I feel embarrassed that on such an important issue for our state that anyone claiming to represent our state’s interests would be on the wrong side of this issue. I feel sure that if both of these elected officials were women, their votes would be different. I think a change in leadership is in order.
