Editor,
Shirley Azzopardi, who is running for District 13 in the Montana House of Representatives, has all the qualities I want in a political candidate—integrity, common sense, knowledge and perseverance. Having known Shirley for many years, I have seen her handle complex situations both personally and professionally with grace, intelligence and determination. I wholeheartedly endorse Shirley Azzopardi to represent our district.
Why is this election so important in Montana? Unlike other red states, the majority of Montana voters do not support the party line and yet our incumbent state leadership continues to spend millions to trample the expressed wishes of Montana voters for reproductive freedom, increased school funding and Medicare expansion. When polled, over 60% of Republicans, Democrats and Independents would vote for reproductive freedom as well as increases to public school funding. A whopping 88% of voters endorse the expansion of Medicare in Montana. Shirley Azzopardi has a mission to ensure that our voices are heard at the state level and that our rights are protected.
As a wife, mother, teacher and community health worker, Shirley is a collaborative problem solver and an effective communicator. Her track record shows that when elected, she will work for real solutions to rising property taxes. She will fight for ranchers and farmers rights, and protect the school system and rural medical clinics from privatization. Shirley Azzopardi listens to what is important to Montana voters and knows how to get the job done. To keep our communities strong and our personal freedoms intact, vote for Shirley Azzopardi for District 13.
