Support for Ballance

May 19, 2020 by Guest Post

By Judy Vernier, Stevensville

Vote Nancy Ballance Senate District 44 – voting records matter for the health of Ravalli County!

Representative Nancy Ballance’s knowledge and foresight has been well applied and certainly appreciated during this pandemic. Due to Nancy’s hard work on healthcare issues, many of Montana’s rural hospitals remain open and available to those needing their assistance.

Representative Ballance’s knowledge and consideration has helped provide for the health of her constituents’ children as well as the health of all ages, kept our local hospital viable and ensured access to healthcare at a critical time for all of Ravalli County.

Nancy’s vote on HB 658 protected the viability of our local hospitals and ensured access to quality healthcare. The Republican bill also added much needed asset limitations, residence requirements and fraud protection.

Nancy put the health of our children and most vulnerable first with her votes on HB564, HB574 and HB575 and ensured access to quality healthcare through her vote on HB2.

Nancy’s vote to protect our children on HB266 would have prevented adults from giving tobacco products, nicotine and vapor products to children.

Representative Nancy Balance’s votes on healthcare issues demonstrates a caring loving consideration for the residents of Ravalli County, unlike her opponent.

I support Rep. Nancy Ballance for Senate District 44. We are lucky to have her in office during this pandemic. Because of her hard work on healthcare issues, many of Montana’s rural hospitals have remained open and able to care for people who otherwise might not have had access to medical services. And, her knowledge and leadership as the Chairman of the legislative Appropriations Committee has made her an invaluable asset for Ravalli County.

Nancy is truly an elected official who puts the people she represents first, and she has a voting record for the past eight years proving that fact. Rep. Nancy Ballance has always voted for the best outcomes for the people of Ravalli County, she has a solid track record, and she is the only candidate for SD 44 we can trust to do what’s best for us.
