Tim Reichert is running for Congress, seeking the Republican nomination for the 7th Congressional District (the seat currently held by Congressman Ed Perlmutter, who is retiring). He has a strong background in economics but his issue positions on his web site give me significant concern. I also wonder, especially given the social turmoil right now regarding abortion and related issues, whether an article he wrote in the past that basically argues against contraception (using what purports to be economic reasoning) will be kryptonite for a campaign in a swing district. I'll ask the questions and you decide what you think of the answers.
