Former senator supports Fern

Without reservation, I support Dave Fern to be our next Montana State Senator for District 2. Dave is smart, thoughtful, and not engrossed in any political ideology.

Although his expertise is in education and school funding, his issues are your issues. He listens to voters instead of telling the voters what he thinks they want to hear.

How does he know what the voters care about? Dave has knocked on more than 6,000 doors. At each one of them he has asked about the person’s concerns with state government. Dave is not selling his own agenda. He is learning how he can best serve his district.

School funding accounts for one of the largest segments in the state budget.  Furthermore, the manner in which we educate our children is critical to the future of Montana. Having Dave Fern in Helena will provide our legislature with valuable knowledge as it plans for the future of education.

As a businessman, Dave has a solid sense of our economy and the communities in Senate District 2. He is energetic and levelheaded. I encourage you to vote for Dave Fern.
