Letter: Gabbard should step down from Congress

U.S. Rep. Tulsi Gabbard has announced her run for president. She should step down from her current position. This should be mandatory. She will be doing nothing for the residents in Hawaii (the people she has taken an oath to represent) while she runs for president.

If she doesn’t get the nomination, she should not continue or stay in office.

Everything has a price. As it stands now, we the people are paying the price for her. She runs, still has a position, and we get no representation. That’s the price we pay. Shouldn’t she be the one paying?
