Support for Tranel

August 2, 2022 by Guest Post

by Mark Snider, Hamilton

At a reception for Monica Tranel I learned what a true Montanan really stood for. She was against corporate greed, dark money in politics, policies that destroy our democracy and the middle class. 

More importantly, I found out what she supported. For example she supports rural communities, fair wages for hard working folks and affordable healthcare. In addition she supports fair and secure elections, and preschool education and child care so working families can succeed. 

As a senior citizen I am concerned that ultra conservative politicians want to cut Social Security. I know Monica will fight against efforts on the far right to take away my only source of income. 

Whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, I highly recommend Monica Tranel to represent Montana in her upcoming election in a fair and honest way that will benefit all of us rather than the rich who avoid paying their fair share in taxes.

    Thanks, Mark. You capture Monica’s key messages. I agree wholeheartedly with you, that Monica has the voter’s interests at heart. She’s a very hard worker and leader. I’m so glad she frequents Ravalli County to be sure she understands our challenges. Thank you, Mark.
