LETTER: Holmquist recognizes water quality

Water quality is an issue we are all concerned with in Flathead County, particularly here in Bigfork. What many Bigfork residents may not know is that Pam Holmquist has been an active steward of water quality issues for decades. Pam’s business relies on the presence of clean water for recreation and she has served on the Evergreen Water and Sewer Board for 15 years. When your livelihood relies on water quality, you have a vested interest in preserving it.

In the political world we live in today, judge your elected officials by their actions, not their words. Pam Holmquist’s concern for water quality isn’t just political speak; it is genuine and her knowledge is much needed in the Flathead County Commissioner’s Office. I know Pam Holmquist will work to ensure our water quality doesn’t suffer, and she and I will work together to make sure the Flathead County taxpayers’ needs are met here and in Helena.

— Scott Reichner, House District 9 representative
