On a hot summer night 28 years ago, I met an amazing woman at a conference on homeless and runaway youths in Arizona. We shared our passions in working with youths, especially those who were oppressed and marginalized.
I also learned that while she was living in Denver, she was originally from Southwest Colorado and planning to return to her roots. Since then, we have been neighbors, friends and colleagues sharing our commitment to social justice, community development and rural policy.
This is what Marsha Porter-Norton is committing to in her campaign for La Plata County commissioner. She has a holistic approach to caring about the social, economic, psychological, physical and financial health of our community. I will cast my vote for Marsha and hope you consider doing the same.
