Jinyoung Englund, the Republican running for the state Senate seat in the 45th legislative district, sent mailings over the weekend imploring voters to “listen to the facts” about her.

With just a few days to go until the end of the third special session, Senate Republicans continue to refuse to allow a vote on the state’s bipartisan capital budget. The capital budget funds $1 billion for school construction, 115 new forensic beds at Western and Eastern State Hospitals, affordable housing projects, and other important infrastructure projects across the state. The capital budget is also a major job creating initiative, supporting 19,000 jobs annually.
