USA Today ran this article first part of the year. The last section highlights Nancy Boyda and her interesting behavior. I quote it below:
• On Dec. 19, Rep. Nancy Boyda, a freshman Democrat from Kansas, issued a news release taking credit for a $485,000 grant for a wastewater treatment project in Iola, a town in her district. On Oct. 15, the Van Scoyoc firm had registered to lobby for Iola. On Nov. 1, the firm hosted a fundraiser for Boyda at its offices. The cost for catering, beverages, room rental and incidentals: $1,203, paid for by the firm’s PAC.
On the day the House of Representatives passed the lobbying law in July, Boyda said that the ban on gifts and meals was important to her constituents because “they want to know that I’m not sitting someplace in Washington, D.C., with somebody that gets my attention for two solid hours.”
On Jan. 18, Boyda said, “If the good people of Kansas want to ask if this passes the smell test, I think that it does,” because benefits flowed to her district.
She said towns didn’t need to hire a lobbyist to get access to her and added, “This is why we need public financing. The system is a mess.”

Nancy Boyda refused to actually say “I will raise taxes,” but she as much said it in a recent Capitol-Journal Article. I don’t think that we need to raise taxes right now. We should look at cutting spending in these tighter economic times.

Nancy Boyda was a war protester before her days in Congress, and now she demonstrates her total disdain for the military and our armed services by walking out on Gen. Keane. The thing is, as the article notes, there are two major military installations in the 2nd District. Is this really what she thinks of the military that she can’t even give them the respect they are due, despite any disagreements she might have with them?

Nancy Boyda, KS-2, seems to think she can get away with calling herself a moderate. Besides the fact that she votes 93% of the time with Nancy Pelosi and is in lock-step with the very liberal House leadership, Nancy Boyda is a liberal, big government spender, the exact kind of person we don’t need in Congress.
