Susan Myshka, D.C., a member of the World Chiropractic Alliance, is running for a Congressional seat from Arkansas and has requested financial support from her colleagues. She is the Republican candidate in the first district, and is attempting to unseat incumbent Marion Berry.

"When you look at the 1st District, if you see what I see, you see families losing their farms, families spending more on taxes than they do on housing, food, and clothing combined, families and senior citizens who are being denied access to quality health care, bureaucrats who want to herd our children into huge schools and wipe out part of the heart of our communities, and people losing jobs while the rest of the country enjoys an economic boom," she notes.

On the issue of health care, she states, "The best way to control costs and improve quality is to put the consumer in greater control of their health care choices." In addition, she supports a "targeted plan to make prescription drugs available to those on Medicare who truly demonstrate a need."

Although Berry is considered "vulnerable" by Arkansas political analysts, he has been able to raise considerably more money than Dr. Myshka ($129,000 to her $70,000, as of June 2000). That’s why she’s turning to her colleagues to ask for help. Terry A. Rondberg, D.C., president of the World Chiropractic Alliance and his wife Cindy personally donated $2,000 to Myshka’s campaign. "It is important that doctors of chiropractic be elected to Washington," he stated. "We need members of our profession working within the government when important chiropractic-related issues arise."
