Editor,
Local elections matter. I have known Gerry Browning for many years and am writing this letter in support of her for our local legislative seat, House District 12. Browning believes in a quality K-12 education for everyone because education is the basis for a healthy economy and provides the opportunity for all kids to grow into productive and confident adults.
As a Polson School Board member for seven years, she successfully negotiated employee contracts while staying in budget. She is endorsed by the Montana Federation of Public Employees and has the public support of over 70 local teachers in addition to over 100 other supporters. All three of her daughters are products of our local schools, and even though she worked, Browning always found time to volunteer in her children’s classrooms.
I am a small business owner and former teacher, and I strongly agree with Browning, making education a priority and protecting our great state and all of our people.
Gerry Browning is the right candidate to represent us in Helena, a fiscally responsible, wise and dedicated leader. Many local elections are determined by just a handful of votes, so consider voting early to make sure your vote counts.
