The gratitude and admiration I have for this community’s support in the recent primary election is difficult to convey in language. Despite the fact that I was not the nominee for the general election, I’m overwhelmed by your turnout at the polls.
The resilience of this community has clearly been evident in the unprecedented wildfire season last summer, a long winter and subsequent spring floods. Your determination to face all of these challenges with dignity, humility and a spirit of unrelenting optimism is a wellspring of inspiration for many, including myself. I’m grateful for the opportunity to represent these values in the recent primary election.
I would like to note that my platform issues remain the foundational core of who I am and transcend any election cycle. I have always admired the strength of our small rural communities in HD 92 and believe that retaining our uniquely rural character is what ensures a strong future for all of us. Creating a sustainable economy that provides living wage jobs is essential to keeping our rural identity. Our natural beauty draws people from all over the world and protecting this resource is a fundamental tenant of this district. A strong public educational system promotes a vibrant and healthy tomorrow for the great state of Montana.
Thank you and have a great summer!
Duane “Cecil” Schlabach
