Strohmaier for Commissioner

MISSOULA - We’re voting for Dave Strohmaier, Democratic Candidate for County Commissioner.

Dave is a thoughtful leader with decades of experience administering programs and managing staff.  He listens and acts with respect and with a collaborative spirit.

Dave is a sportsman and conservationist who values good stewardship for Missoula County and understands the imperative to reduce the county’s carbon footprint. He received the sole endorsement of the Montana Conservation Voters for County Commissioner.

Dave understands that planning is essential and must not be sidetracked by rhetoric seeking to widen the urban-rural divide.  He respects private property and the value of public lands.

Dave is a former wildland firefighter and EMT and chaired the Missoula City Council’s Public Safety and Health Committee for four years. He offers a unique perspective on public safety.

Dave is inclusive. He upholds human rights. He understands and supports the importance of cultural enrichment. He has a sense of and appreciation for history.

The above are excellent reasons to vote for Dave Strohmaier. But there’s more. As we have come to know Dave and his family over the years, we have marveled at Dave’s commitment to our way of government and dedication to making it responsive to the people. He’s both positive and pragmatic. At a time when Americans are becoming increasingly polarized, Dave’s leadership based upon cooperation more than confrontation brings fresh hope that we can attain the best from our democratic processes.

Dave Strohmaier is a man of vision and commitment:  a family man who leads by example whether at work, on the campaign trail or recreating, hunting and fishing on public lands.
