POLSON – Joe McDonald and Co Carew will host a wine and cheese event for people to meet governor candidate Whitney Williams on Friday, Nov. 1, at 5:30 to 7 p.m., in the Bickford Building, 220 Main St.
Williams is a sixth-generation Montanan and businesswoman. As CEO of Williamsworks, Williams worked alongside Fortune 500 companies, charities and citizens to solve complex problems — just like those Montanans face every day.
She’s helped folks get back on their feet after disaster strikes and opened new markets for farmers struggling to make ends meet. She has managed multi-million dollar budgets and brought folks from all walks of life together to tackle the epidemic of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. She has also helped law enforcement protect kids from sex trafficking and made sure students all over the world get the education they deserve.
For every tough problem, Williams brought folks together and found common ground. Now, she’s running for governor to do the same in the state her family homesteaded six generations ago.
As governor, she will fight back against the constant threat to our public lands from big money and special interests. She’ll finally hold pharmaceutical companies accountable for the price of prescription drugs, and she’ll defend the Montana we know and love against wealthy out-of-staters buying up land and cutting off access.
As the daughter of Pat and Carol Williams, Montana’s longest-serving Congressman and first female Senate Majority Leader, she grew up knowing that being a Montanan was a privilege but that it was up to every generation to fight for it. She is a graduate of the University of Montana in political science, forestry and Native American studies.
