Pam Holmquist has proven that she has the fiscal ability and the temperament to be a great county commissioner. She has worked hard to meet the needs of the county and still maintain a healthy reserve.
Commissioner Holmquist said that she would protect private property rights and she has. I remember reading the draft of the property owners “bill of rights” while in Helena. I made my comments and sent it back thinking it was going to be difficult getting it passed, but because of her efforts it was included in the 2012 Flathead County Growth Policy update. She also stood firm against the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes Water Compact to protect our water rights.
Pam has never wavered on returning representation to the Whitefish doughnut residents. The county has just now completed the long process of zoning the doughnut area, giving residents the foundation for future use of their property.
Providing increased business opportunities throughout the county, Holmquist supported the Evergreen Enterprise Overlay, creating more options for business growth in the Evergreen area. Also, we both actively supported the Tiger grant and the removal of the railroad tracks in downtown Kalispell.
Holmquist has earned our vote because of her leadership and sometimes thankless hard work. Please join me in voting for her on June 7.
