Rep. Reksten has shown she's not conservative

As a current resident of Lake County and having graduated from Moiese grade school and Charlo High School, I have a strong tie to this part of the Flathead valley.

Having flown over 300 combat missions off a carrier in Vietnam, I also have a deep and abiding love for this nation.

Although my basic beliefs have not changed over the years it seems the definition of my beliefs has. What I thought was common sense now seems to be called “conservative” thought! I can live with that, but it means if you are not conservative you are not representing my beliefs.

I have supported Rep. Reksten the past two terms and posted political signs on my property as well as promoted her personally. She has said many times what a strong conservative she was in speeches and personal conversations.

Thanks to the Republican Party of Montana for exposing her voting record as well as her donor base.

This supposed “conservative” legislator has voted to allow transgender surgeries on children and sides with nine other Republicans that supported the Democrats on many liberal bills. Her donor base includes many top level Democrats as well as abortion activists.

I blame myself for not having done more research and instead trusted a person who “seemed” trustworthy. Rep. Reksten has proven she is not conservative.
