Debo Powers best choice for HD3
When my friend Debo Powers told me she was going to run for House District 3, I immediately volunteered to be her treasurer. I did this not only because of our long friendship but because she is the individual I want to have representing me and my community in the Montana legislature. There is no doubt, Debo Powers has all the skills and dedication to represent House District, 3. She cut her legislative chops when she was appointed by Flathead County Commissioners to fill out the remainder of Zack Perry’s legislative term in 2019. For many years prior to her legislative appointment, Debo immersed herself in the issues important to those of us who live in HD 3. Her commitment to serving her community has been relentless as demonstrated by her extensive volunteer experience with numerous boards and organizations. Preserving Montana values and protecting public lands is her passion as is her commitment to local government control and resolving the housing affordability crisis. Debo Powers is the only candidate who lives in HD3 and is the one I want to represent me in Helena. — Richard Hildner, Whitefish
