I have my first response to my emails to my various reps concerning Puerto Rico becoming a State, sent on September 30. Senator Klobuchar is the winner of the race, and here’s her response:
Dear Mr. White:
Thank you for taking the time to write to my office about Puerto Rico. Based on your comments, it is clear to me that you have thought about this issue at length. It is always helpful to hear people’s ideas and our office will consider your views as we go forward. I appreciate that you shared your thoughts and concerns with me.
Again, thank you for taking the time to contact me. I continue to be humbled to be your Senator, and one of the most important parts of my job is listening to the people of Minnesota. I am here in our nation’s capital to do the public’s business. I hope you will contact me again about matters of concern to you.
Sincerely,
Amy Klobuchar
United States Senator
That’s just about as non-committal as it gets. I wonder if she’s concerned that her response could become political cannon fodder.
