Dear Editor:
Billings Heights Senate District 22 incumbent Doug Kary has proven himself untrustworthy and irresponsible. He voted against affordable health care, he favors a statewide sales tax, he has voted against teacher’s pensions, public state employees and working class wages, while voting himself a pay increase. He voted against options for veterans, against our elderly and disabled. He voted against education. He voted to allow concealed weapons, without permits, in schools, by students and outsiders, as well as restaurants and other prohibited places. He broke Montana constitutional law by leaving session without a balanced budget, on the taxpayer’s dime, and did not offer any solutions to improve our situation.
He is anti-conservation and voted to promote big state government over local governments. He voted to reduce the penalty for sexual offenders. Voted against the option to lower your utility bills.
Sen. Kary wants to decrease taxes on the super rich and big corporations, while hurting the shrinking middle class. He voted in favor of dark money and corruption in politics more than once. He’s against energy freedom and our public lands.
He may say one thing, but his voting records prove otherwise, but see for yourself! We cannot continue to support establishment rubber stamp politicians that vote against our best interests.
Fortunately, Billings Heights has a better option on the ballot this November. Jennifer Merecki is a proven populist fighter that stands with you on the issues that matter most. She deserves your support and vote.
