Editor,
My name is Rolf Harmsen. I am a candidate for Senate District 6.
I am pro-life. I have five kids. My daughter is a 26-year-old special needs child. I have first-hand awareness of the needs of those who can’t provide for themselves. I’m aware that in state budget wars those who can’t stand for themselves always suffer the brunt of financial shortfalls. I will be the champion of those whose voices are rarely heard.
I am pro-business … small business, that is. Sixty percent of all jobs are created by small business. Removing current barriers to small business development is essential to full employment within our state. Out of state corporations historically don’t have Montana’s best interests at heart. They simply want our resources and labor, and ultimately leave. Small business is the answer.
I have a business. Product, service and availability are essential to the growth and client retention of my business. Why? Because my clients have choices. They can always leave for another company. I want to be part of a future where our city, county and state public institutions provide better service and availability to the citizens they are supposed to serve.
No matter what our short and long-term issues are, local or statewide, if we don’t come to terms with the devastating drug and alcohol addictions that are rampant in our communities, nothing we do will matter. Addiction is destroying us. We must answer the call and provide solutions that will be available to all Montanans.
My business requires me to be an expert problem solver. As a state senator I look forward to being available and solving problems for the constituents of Senate District 6. Seventy percent of all Americans disapprove of the performance of their public institutions. I am the voice for those people.
That thundering noise you hear in the distant background is a herd of millennial voters who are disappointed with the performance and lack of results from the Baby Boomer generation. It is time for function, it is time to solve problems, it is time to be relevant.
