Problem Solver

Rep Powers giving award to Frank Vitale

At the annual meeting of the North Fork Preservation Association, Representative Debo Powers gave an award to Frank Vitale recognizing his 38 years of service on the Board of Directors.  At this same meeting, Rep Powers stepped down as president of the organization and passed the leadership role on to Flannery Coats.

Rep Powers leaving campaign literature on a door in Columbia Falls

One way to campaign during a pandemic is to drop campaign literature on voter’s doors.  Instead of knocking on doors, campaign volunteers have been leaving literature.  At times, volunteers have been able to have socially-distanced conversations with voters who are enjoying the summer weather in their yards.  Some people have called the number on the flier to ask questions and have had good conversations with Representative Powers.

Rep Powers working at Cyclone Lookout

There are many ways to serve one’s community.  Representative Debo Powers volunteers as a fire lookout every summer at Cyclone Lookout near Polebridge.

Powers For The People campaign workers have been leaving campaign literature on doors in Montana House District 3.  Campaigning safely during the pandemic is difficult, but literature can be left (without knocking on the door) while maintaining social distance.

Rep Powers speaking at Interlocal

Representative Powers spoke at the North Fork Interlocal meeting in Sondreson Community Hall north of Polebridge.  The Interlocal is held twice a year as a way to facilitate communication between North Fork landowners and the various agencies who manage public land in the North Fork.  96% of the land in the North Fork is public land which is why it remains remote and fairly undeveloped.  The meeting, which usually packs the Hall to overflowing, was purposefully kept to under 50 people this year.  Almost everyone at the meeting wore masks in order to protect each other during the COVID pandemic.

Powers For The People campaign celebrated the 4th of July in Polebridge, Montana in House District 3.  Although the official parade was cancelled, Representative Powers joined a “spontaneous eruption of patriotic fervor” and participated in the “Freedom Cruise” through Polebridge.

Representative Powers in Triathlon

Representative Powers participated in a Triathlon with constituents in House District 3.  The Triathlon consisted of hiking (11.5 miles), mountain biking (16 miles), paddling the North Fork of the Flathead River (10 miles).  This was a different type of “campaign trail.”
