Former teacher, principal gives Bradford high marks

Oct 1

As Americans, our right to vote is one of the greatest benefits of a free democratic society. It is critical that we select leaders who truly represent the needs of our communities and exhibit the utmost honesty and integrity.

House District 13 offers us a unique choice between two young men who aspire to represent us in Helena.

I have been a resident of the Polson community for 48 years. I served the children and families of Polson as a special education teacher and principal of Cherry Valley elementary school for 36 years.

Dalton Bradford was one of the students at Cherry Valley. Even as a youngster, Dalton stood out. He was a good student with strong social skills, including respect and fairness to others.

As a candidate, Dalton continues to show these qualities, along with his strong commitment to represent the needs of his community. He truly is the homegrown candidate, and we are very fortunate to have such an outstanding young man as a choice for this House seat.

I was incredibly disappointed in the Republican primary contest. Almost daily we received flyers in the mail full of lies. To my knowledge, Dalton’s opponent did not denounce these, even if he personally did not send them.

I believe the choice is clear. To have true representation for HD13, Dalton Bradford is the candidate who deserves our vote. Please join me in sending this outstanding man to Helena to represent our community.
