Salka is true advocate for families

I want to share my experience with Matt Salka and why he has my full support for reelection as county commissioner. When my son was diagnosed with cancer, our family was overwhelmed. We faced one obstacle after another in trying to secure the care he needed. I felt lost and unsure of where to turn for help.

That’s when Matt stepped in. He didn’t just offer words of support – he took action. Matt personally connected us with the CEO of Mercy Hospital, ensuring that my son received the critical care necessary for his recovery. Thanks to Matt’s intervention, my son is now in remission. I honestly believe that without Matt’s help, we might not have had the same outcome.

Matt’s commitment to the people of La Plata County goes beyond his official duties. He saw a family in crisis and did everything he could to help. His genuine concern for our community is exactly what we need in a leader. Support Matt Salka for reelection. He’s proved that he’s not just a commissioner – he’s a compassionate advocate for all of us.
