My name is Bob Lawson. I had the honor and privilege of representing the folks in Montana House District 80, which included the greater Whitefish area, from 1997-2004.

I will vote for Don “K” Kaltschmidt in the upcoming Republican primary election for Montana Senate District 3. I have known Don “K” for many years. I have always admired and respected him for his ability to work “with” and “for” people.

I have had a very positive working relationship with Don “K” at his dealership. He certainly pays attention to business; he makes me feel like a valued customer and friend.

Don “K” is deeply involved in our community. He is a great “giver” — genuinely interested in the health and well-being of our community.

Don “K” is a good listener. He is easy to access. He treats folks with respect, dignity and understanding.

Don “K” will do an excellent job of representing us in Helena. Don “K” does not have an “ax to grind” nor “baggage to sort.” Don “K” brings fresh ideas, thoughts, tactics and solutions.

I would encourage you to vote for Don “K” Kaltschmidt in the upcoming Montana legislative elections.
