Ex-Governor backs Don Loranger

Editor,

Bigfork's record of producing talented and effective state legislators — Bob Keenan and Stan Fisher come to mind — is well recognized in Montana and that tradition will continue with the election of Don Loranger to Senate District 5.

Don is eminently qualified to serve. Born in Havre, Don went on to serve his country in a 30-year career in the U.S. Air Force, piloting jets and being assigned to command assignments throughout the world. He retired with the rank of Major General.

Don is a Montana success story. Decision making, leadership, advanced education and experiences in working with others are attributes he will bring to the legislature. District 5 will continue to be represented with intelligence, integrity and common sense with Don in the Montana senate.

I've known Don well since his high school days of shooting baskets for the Havre Blue Ponies. I'm pleased to support his candidacy and recommend him to the voters of Senate District 5.
