I'm truly<br /> honored to serve. Gallatin County will have equal Democrat/Republican<br /> representation in the state capitol, and I'm one of two women (myself and<br /> Franke Wilmer) who will represent our county. I'll work hard on issues that<br /> directly affect our city and county, and those same issues impact all of<br /> Montana. I'm dedicated to improving land use and water resources policies,<br /> keeping growth manageable, and promoting education and innovations in energy<br /> production. Many thanks!<br /> <strong>Mike Phillips<br /> House District 66</strong></p> <p>It is a great honor to be elected to serve as the Representative for HD 66.<br /> I am looking forward to the 2007 session to do a little more than my fair share to ensure passage of useful legislation concerning public education, renewable energy, and environmental protection.</p> <p><strong>Franke Wilmer<br /> House District 64</strong><br /> A very hearty THANKS to the voters of HD 64 who elected me with 57%<br /> of the vote! This speaks volumes about them as door by door, voter by<br /> voter, I asked them to trust me, and they did. I am so honored to be<br /> the new representative for these fine people and already working on<br /> draft bills to remedy some of the issues they raised with me during<br /> the campaign -- encouraging alternative energy use by the state,<br /> bigger deductions for installing residential alternative energy, tax<br /> relief for seniors and disabled Veterans on fixed income, promoting<br /> respect of Montana's First Nations through education, and more. I<br /> will work with our local delegation and others throughout the state to<br /> strengthen protection for a clean and healthful environment, move<br /> toward clean and domestic production of energy, expanding access to<br /> affordable health care, and improving education at all levels to<br /> enable Montana and the US to become more competitive in a globalizing<br /> economy.</p> <p class="posted"> Posted by admin at <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/11/new_kids_on_the.php">04:00 PM</a> | <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/11/new_kids_on_the.php#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p> <h2>October 25, 2006</h2> <h3 id="a000267">Meet Renae Jones</h3> <p>Write In Candidate for HD #67 (replaces Jackson Cyr)<br /> Renae's roots go three deep in Belgrade. She has a degree in sociology and justice studies from Montana State University and is a certified Family Support Specialist and a Treatment Service<br /> Specialist. Her employer is Aware Inc., a statewide nonprofit organization concerned<br /> with children who are diagnosed as severely disturbed and/or cognitively delayed.

She also wants to represent her Belgrade-based district out of aprofound need to demonstrate her Christian faith.<br /> "After working with the families of these children for so years, and seeing the pressure it places on middle class families (especially the expenses) I think I can help the legislature become more sensitive about the health care system."<br /> To vote for Ms. Jones for House seat #67, it will be necessary to write her full name on the ballot as follows: "Renae Jones."</p> <p class="posted"> Posted by admin at <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/meet_renae_jone.php">07:50 PM</a> | <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/meet_renae_jone.php#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p> <h3 id="a000266">Renae Jones announces candidacy for HD 67</h3> <p>"The Gallatin County Democrats are pleased that Renae Jones of Belgrade<br /> has filed with the Secretary of State as a write-in candidate for<br /> Montana's House District 67, currently held by John Sinrud. As a third<br /> generation Montanan and well-known community activist in Belgrade, Ms.<br /> Jones is an outstanding challenger for this seat, which encompasses the<br /> city of Belgrade and areas northwest of Bozeman.<br /> "Democrat candidate Jackson Cyr who filed in the spring is unable to<br /> continue his campaign, and is 'passing the baton' to Ms. Jones for the<br /> home stretch, asking his supporters to write in 'Renae Jones' on their<br /> ballot.<br /> "Campaigning for public office is extremely demanding and it's not at<br /> all rare that changes in a candidate's personal circumstances make<br /> running impossible. To have a great candidate come forward, pick up<br /> the ball and run with it is rare. <strong>The Gallatin County Democrats<br /> heartily endorse Renae Jones' write-in candidacy."</strong></p> <p>Jim Walseth<br /> Chairman<br /> Gallatin County Democrats<br /> 595-0829</p> <p class="posted"> Posted by admin at <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/renae_jones_ann.php">03:05 PM</a> | <a href="http://www.gallatindemocrats.com/archives/weblog/2006/10/renae_jones_ann.php#comments">Comments (0)</a> </p> </div> </div> </body> </html>
