Dear Editor: Supporting Gary Buchanan

Dear Editor,

Election day is fast approaching and will bring in new leaders to help make decisions that will guide our future direction. The divide and turmoil in our country today erode the values and unity that have been a cornerstone of this nation. There is a need for our elected leaders to get back to the basics of representing and making decisions in the best interests of the people without the shackles of partisanship.

Gary Buchanan is running for the eastern district house seat for the U.S. House of Representatives as an independent candidate. He has a long history of working in government and has served six Montana governors in a variety of roles demonstrating his ability to work together with leaders from different political backgrounds. His ability to work as an independent in the best interests of the people is a personal quality that is needed in the political environment of today to help bring unity and common sense back into the political decision-making process.

Gary Buchanan has been involved in financial advising for over twenty years and understands the importance of fiscal responsibility. The high inflation currently being experienced impacts all Montanans and he is committed to making this a priority by reducing unnecessary federal spending.

Gary Buchanan understands the value of our public lands to Montanans and will never support the transfer of these lands to either state or private hands.

Gary Buchanan believes in energy independence through an expansion of energy production to reduce reliance on foreign energy imports.

Gary Buchanan believes the United States has a leadership role to play on the global stage and supports a strong well-funded military to keep our nation safe and taking care of our veterans who served is an important responsibility.

Gary Buchanan believes in public safety and funding our law enforcement as it is critical to keeping our communities safe.

As you consider who to cast your vote for – consider Gary Buchanan as an independent candidate who will work together with others in our best interests.
