Letter to the Editor

Montana’s next Congressman will soon be chosen and it is vital that our next representative will fight to do what is best for our state and for our nation. The challenges we face- our $18 trillion national debt, rising healthcare costs, and threats to our national security are real- and to continue to ignore them puts our country and our way of life at risk.

At the heart of solving these issues is ensuring we have a prosperous economy and good paying jobs so Montanans can succeed and we can keep the promises we have made to our seniors, veterans, and those in need. It takes a strong economy to afford a capable military, sound environmental policies, quality education, and maintenance of our public infrastructure and institutions.

Throughout this campaign I have had the privilege to speak with many of you about the issues facing our state. Thank you for taking the time to speak with me about them. Now more than ever, we need leadership in Washington, and good leadership begins with identifying the issues and working to find solutions.

In particular, I want to thank the people of Sidney and the surrounding area. After meeting with city officials and business owners from the agriculture and natural resource communities, I understand the unique challenges and opportunities we have there. I appreciate the warm welcome I received and I look forward to working together on building a prosperous community.

We can face our challenges head on and pass a legacy of prosperity to the next generation. I have found the people of Montana believe it, and so do I. Thank you for your support and I humbly ask for your vote in the upcoming election.

- Ryan Zinke
