Senator Wayne Allard is my senator, and I'm proud to be represented by him. He's been a true conservative on every issue. He's also one of the few congresscritters who's not a lawyer. He's a veterinarian, and his election slogan was "Send a Vet to Congress!"

On the other hand, my other senator is Ken Salazar, a lawyer who tried to present himself as a farmer during his campaign. He's also one of the despicable Gang of 14.
