4 Days to Election Day and Eric “Did Not Respond” Hovde is Dodging the Press, Trying to Hide From His Extreme Policy Positions
MADISON, Wis. — Four days until Election Day, and Eric “Did Not Respond” Hovde is suddenly scared to answer for his extreme policy agenda, ducking question after question about his out-of-touch Hovde Plan to cut benefits and ban abortion, and even refusing to fill out a questionnaire from the League of Women Voters.
