Vote for Olszewski

It isn’t often that someone of the integrity, dedication, capability and caliber of Dr. Albert Olszewski offers himself for political office, and when they do we should all take note. 

Service is nothing new to Al as he has served in the Air Force, and he was one of the first to make his way to Haiti in January 2010 to serve whoever needed his help. He has traveled the world teaching surgical techniques and helping companies develop better surgical implants. 

I was once away on business, shortly after moving to Montana, only to receive an urgent call from my wife concerning our son hurt on a ballfield, and as she explained Dr Olszewski is on the field, now he has him in his arms, now he place him in his car and drove him to his office where he tended to his injuries. 

Recently his pastor, who considers Al and his wife, Nancee, a model married couple, had them lead the training for engaged couples in their parish. I know Al as having been a fellow Scout leader snow caving on Big Mountain, whitewater rafting the Middle Fork and leading Scouts up Rumble Creek.

Al and Nancee have been certified as foster parents and adoptive parents, and they have adopted a little local girl who now lives their combined good fortunes every day.

I am proud to call Al my friend. Stories like this have reverberated around our community for the past couple decades as we have raised our children together, and if everyone touched by Al would just go out and vote early for him on the Republican primary ballot whether they are a Republican, Democrat, Libertarian, or independent, Montana will be a better place for all of us. Even if you are not in the 11th House District, please call a friend in South Kalispell, Somers or Lakeside who can vote for Al and encourage them to do so.

Some may think that Al is just too good to be true, but I attest that he is all that and more, and one of his greatest attributes may be that he is not a politician, but instead a citizen like you and me, willing and able to serve and to make a difference. He can and will make you proud!
