Over the last few months since Derek Skees won the HD4 (Whitefish area) Republican primary, I have gotten to know him quite well. I have met with Derek several times and found that he can truly represent our interests in Helena in a manner that I find favorable, which is a very well run and efficient state government.

We need representation in Helena that knows how hard it is to a keep a small business going, who has to meet payroll, budgets, time schedules, and manage employees. And how to squeeze out enough to support his family. One who also knows and understands how our state government should work within the framework of the Constitution. Derek has what it takes in all of the areas.

He has a wonderful family and only wants the best for them and for his friends, neighbors and fellow citizens.

I urge you to do as I am going to do and that is cast my vote for Derek Skees for HD 4 representative in this upcoming election
