Rob Quist concerned with Montanans' personal welfare

| May 23, 2017 4:00 AM

We love living in Montana for the easy access to our waterways and public lands, particularly as we go through our golden years. We are also proud of the efforts that have been made to clean up many of the worst environmental abuses that have occurred in our Big Sky Country through the past unregulated extraction and overuse of our natural resources.

We are saddened to see President Donald Trump lifting many of the regulations that protect our natural resources and public lands and water in the name of encouraging development. Greg Gianforte has pledged to support the President’s agenda. No thanks! We suspect the $750 million that have come to him from big Eastern money has more to do with his expected “vote in support of the President’s policies” than with our personal welfare or concern for Montana.

We have lived in Montana long enough to know that most working people here will have health problems sometime in their lives, and we are happy to support a candidate that has met those challenges head-on and worked his way through them with honesty and pride. That is why we support Rob Quist for Congress.
