House District 3 Campaign Discussed in Flathead Beacon

Debo Powers at Home in House District 3

The Flathead Beacon published an article today outlining the differences between the candidates running for the newly drawn House District 3.  While Debo spoke to a reporter and had her picture taken, her opponent declined the interview.  Nevertheless, the Beacon made an effort to give a balanced picture of the candidates and what they stand for.

Serving her community as a volunteer Fire Lookout

Debo Powers has spent her life in community service.  One way that she continues to serve is as a volunteer fire lookout in Flathead National Forest each summer.  Everyone in House District 3 lives in the WUI (Wildland Urban Interface) and is vulnerable to wildfire. Fire mitigation, early detection, and prevention are very important to Debo and her constituents.

Volunteering in Glacier National Park as Wilderness Patrol

Debo Powers serves her community in many ways.  One way is by volunteering for Glacier National Park (the western part of GNP is in House District 3) as Wilderness Patrol.  Debo wears a uniform, carries a radio and first aide kit, and talks to hundreds visitors in the backcountry.  Besides providing information and preventing violations, Debo offers electrolytes and salty snacks to hikers who are struggling on the trails on hot, sunny days.  This is often called preventative Search & Rescue.
