Dear Editor,
I encourage Dane County District 30 citizens to re-elect Pat Downing as County Board Supervisor. Pat has worked hard for many years to well-represent our area interests at the County level. I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate and communicate with Pat on his opposition to the Cardinal-Hickory Creek power line, protection of our watershed, supporting our seniors, and funding of county services that benefit our District. Pat has always been willing to respond to my questions and concerns, and proactively reaches out to me for input.
