Maia Irvin, Minnesota Reformer, September 22, 2022 For decades, Republicans promised voters they’d ban abortions if only the U.S. Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade.

Tom Traub, Sun This Week, September 8, 2022 To the editor: The Donald Trump-endorsed Tyler Kistner is not who we need in Congress. It is no wonder Trump endorsed him.
