Letters: Rep. Troy Carter a winner despite candidate losses
Twice in one week, an article appeared in your paper characterizing U.S. Rep. Troy Carter as a “loser” in the elections that just occurred.
The gist of both articles stated that Carter backed three candidates for various positions, all of whom lost. So what? That’s what most elected officials do. They endorse candidates for public office. Sometimes those candidates win, and sometimes they don’t.
If Carter’s reelection depends on his actions in Congress and his representation of his constituents back home, he has nothing to worry about.
