Letter: Negative campaigns need to stop; the voting booth is a good place to start

As an unaffiliated voter in the 4th Congressional District, I was dismayed to read of Rep. Mia Love’s decision to go negative so early, or at any time for that matter, in her campaign vs. Salt Lake County Mayor Ben McAdams. The strategy of negatively linking a candidate with a national figure can go both ways. The consequential clutter is worse than the myriad of campaign signs littering our neighborhoods and streets. Could we please go back to telling the voters why we should elect you and not why we should vote against an opponent?
