Constituent Reviews of Kirk Watson
I dunno if Kirk really gets it. Hes all about big city stuff but what about actual border security or keeping crime down? Like yeah hes trying to push some local programs but they feel kinda useless if the basics arent being handled. Does he even care about how this impacts veterans or ppl who served? He talks a lot about being fair but wheres the action man. Not impressed at all tbh.
Honestly not impressed with Kirk. Thought he’d bring some fresh ideas but it’s just the same old stuff. Healthcare is still a mess and he kinda acts like it’s not even a big deal 🤦. Really expected more from him tbh.
