Lydia Boesch: Ellmers an effective rep

I don’t get it. U.S. Rep. Renee Ellmers works tirelessly to do great things for all of North Carolina, not only her own District 2.

She has worked to block the Obama administration’s efforts to shut down Fort Bragg’s 440th Airlift Wing, she’s leading the effort to push through nearly $3 trillion in cuts in wasteful spending and she’s working to secure America’s southern border, among other important efforts.

Why can’t The N&O cover these positive endeavors, rather than putting a false, salacious rumor on the front page (“As Rep. Renee Ellmers dodges rumor, some rivals talk it up,” Oct. 17 news article)?
