Editor, It’s important that you take the time to write Paul’s name down on a piece of paper. He decided at the last minute to file for Lake County Commissioner and his name will not be on the ballot. You will have to write it in and remember to fill in the bubble beside his name under County Commissioner.    Many of you know Paul Guenzler and how reliable, trust worthy and true to his word he is. Paul realized recently how important it is that the farmers, ranchers and different communities in Lake County need representation at the courthouse. He will be on your ballot when you put him there. Remember the spelling, Paul Guenzler. Paul Guenzler has served our c...

Editor, The pollsters are predicting, and the early voters are voting. The pundits proclaim that Trump’s party could do ok in the midterms because it’s always been that way. But this time is all about things no longer being the way they always were before, ever again. We are now on a new road,...

Editor, Last week’s legislative updates by Mr. Hertz were a little short on information. Lots of bluster implying that the Dems will eat your children and are the spawn of the devil of course, and of course very little about how the legislature is trying to get you to curtail abortion rights in Nove...

Editor, There could not be a bigger difference between the Democrat and Republican candidates running for Montana House District 93. Shirley Azzopardi has shown that she cares what is on the minds of voters in her District. Shirley has personally knocked over 1,000 doors since May. She is currently knocki...

Editor, Montana is full of many folks with many opinions and beliefs. We live in a very partisan times and our state is no different than many places across this great nation. While there is a place to express one’s political beliefs, the Supreme Court of the State of Montana is not that place. We m...

Editor, Our nation is in political crisis. In my view it is due to the unusually dangerous divide within the Republican party. This divide is actually threatening the continuation of our normal democratic system of government.  Within the Republican ranks, some of the most negative aspects of huma...

Editor, It’s unbelievable how irresponsible some candidates can be when it comes to sharing their qualifications, views, and issues they support with the voters. Annie Bukacek has refused to face John Repke in various communities in PSC 5 that have attempted to expose her and her beliefs to the vote...
