To the Editor, 
Peter Welch tries to talk a good game about serving the people. But his performative puffery, like bragging about not taking PAC contributions while still raking it in from trade associations that are nothing but a PAC with another name, show that he is as at the heart of the problem that the US Congress has become.
Welch is very popular in Vermont. His Republican opponent faces an extreme uphill battle to get traction in the race and any challengers from outside the two main parties are marginalized by the media.
