Support for candidate who lives in the District

By David Parsons and Suzi Kimzey Parsons, Florence

Those of us who live in the northern Bitterroot Valley are lucky to be able to vote for a candidate like Margaret Gorski to represent us in the Montana legislature (Senate District 44). We need our elected representatives to work together for our common good. Margaret Gorski is committed to doing just that. Her campaign slogan (Uniting Not Dividing) addresses her concern about the divisiveness that dominates today’s political world. As she says on her website (margaretgorskiforsd44.com) her agenda can be described as Fiscally Conservative, Socially Responsible and Environmentally Conscious. She has been fully engaged with her local community as a volunteer with such endeavors as the Friends of Fort Owen and the Bitterroot Trail Preservation Alliance. 

It is clear from endorsements she has received from both Republicans and Democrats that she is widely respected and supported by a cross section of Bitterroot Valley residents. She is a long-time resident of the northern Valley who has extensive experience in working with a wide variety of interests and groups to find the common ground necessary to support sensible solutions to the challenges we face.  

Gorski’s opponent, Theresa Manzella, doesn‘t even live in Senate District 44. If you are uncertain about who to vote for consider whether you want someone living well outside our area as your representative in the State Senate. If there was ever a time for Republicans and Independents to consider voting for the person rather than the party, this is the time! We encourage a vote for Margaret Gorski for Senate District 44.
