Utah's only Democrat is a Republican

I am surprised that Matheson has not been criticized for receiving money from healthcare providers like Hatch was earlier this week. If the $73,000 Matheson has received were multiplied over 33 years like Hatch's money--it would total more than $2 million. That is way over double the amount Hatch has received.
We must admit that ALL of our politicians receive money from many sources--including competing sources. We need to look at how they vote and what they stand for to determine if they are appropriately representing us. Apply the same standards to both Democrats and Republicans. Neither party is faultless, nor does either party (or candidate) have all the high ideals.

Yes. Agree. Matheson is wrong too.

He should learn from this and not continue taking contributions!
