We are very fortunate this election to have two experienced and dedicated candidates running for county commissioner. How these jobs are performed makes a huge difference in the quality of life for all our residents.

Votes for Gwen Lachelt and Julie Westendorff assure us of continued high quality and experienced management of La Plata County.

The Western Slope also needs Barbara McLachlan’s intelligence and organizational skills in Denver. With her in the statehouse, we will no longer be embarrased by sending someone who represents only a very narrow view of our region and the world.
