I served many years on the Whitefish County Water and Sewer District with Ed Lieser and know his commitment and passion for protecting our valuable water resources. With the publication of the recent WLI Septic Leachate Study, Ed has assumed a leadership role in addressing the problems and finding solutions for human-caused pollution of Whitefish Lake.

Ed has spent his entire professional career working in natural resource management. He will manage our natural resources whether it is timber, oil and coal in a manner that protects water, wildlife and the fabric of our communities. In addition, responsible management also includes access for recreation on our public lands. This is critical to all who live, recreate or visit Whitefish.

Another great reason to support Ed Lieser is his undying support for education at all levels. Our schools need the funding to produce students who will be able to compete and thrive in our economy.

I hope you will join me in supporting a candidate who truly represents Whitefish. We need a reasonable, honest, hard working person in Helena.
