Criticizing political parties for fund-raising is ‘ridiculous’

Thank you for the story Oct. 7 on Vice President Pence’s attendance in Las Vegas honoring the victims of the shooting.

I appreciate you acknowledging that he and his wife honored them with a prayer after the unity prayer walk.

With California being a majority Democratic state, it’s nice that we can come together and recognize tha,t although certain trips through his visit in California have been canceled, it is for a bigger purpose in coming together as a whole nation and people.

The fund-raising to be done in California to raise money for the GOP is necessary.

Both parties need funds and targeting either Republican or Democratic parties based on a needs basis is ridiculous.
