Dark Days Ahead
As a Red Wave swept the Montana elections, many Democratic candidates all over the state failed to win their elections. Representative Debo Powers was one of these candidates. The day following the election, Representative Powers congratulated Braxton Mitchell on his victory.
Many are worried about dark days ahead for Montana with one political party in control of the Legislature, the Governor’s Office, and the entire Cabinet.
During the month of October, radio ads are airing on three local stations in the Flathead: KOFI 104.3, KOLK “The Lake” 94.3, and KZMN “The Monster” 103.9. Listen by clicking on the link below.
Ready to Represent
An opposition mailer stated that Debo Powers wants to “tax everything in sight.” The former Columbia Falls City Manager Roger Hopkins set the record straight in a Letter to the Editor in the Hungry Horse News.
Another letter to the editor appeared in the Flathead Beacon titled “Great Leadership for House District 3.” The letter encouraged people to vote for Representative Debo Powers for “broad-based thoughtful leadership.”
Rep Powers Speaking at Rally
Representative Debo Powers was the first speaker at a local rally for state-wide candidates culminating with Kathleen Williams (U.S. Congress) and Steve Bullock (U.S. Senate). The rally was held on a cold, blustery day at the Fairgrounds in Kalispell. Participants sat in their cars to stay safe from COVID and the speakers were projected onto a big screen while their words were amplified by large speakers. There was lots of horn blowing and flag waving! It was a campaign rally for these times of pandemic!
“Powers for the People” is not just a campaign slogan. Loggers, hunters & anglers, kayakers, businessmen, teachers, musicians, and even dog-lovers like being represented by Debo Powers. A few of Debo’s friends got together at Sondreson Meadow in the North Fork to make a video supporting her campaign. Watch the video by clicking on the link below.
The Flathead Beacon featured an HD3 Candidate Forum showing the difference in issues between Representative Debo Powers and her opponent.
During the past seven summers, Representative Powers has worked as a volunteer fire lookout. One of her fellow lookouts endorsed her candidacy in the Flathead Beacon.
Rep. Debo Powers hard at work
Representative Powers answered the questionnaire sent to candidates by The Missoulian. Representative Powers’ opponent did not participate.
Representative Debo Powers lives off the electric grid in a solar-powered cabin across the North Fork of the Flathead River from Glacier National Park in grizzly bear country. She has a garden and greenhouse and stores food in a root cellar. In addition, she heats with wood and cross-country skis every day during the winter. In the summer, she hikes on remote trails, mountain bikes, and floats the river when she isn’t staffing a fire lookout. She is a Montanan through and through.
