Alaska, Mat-Su Valley better for Menards’ contributions

To the editor:

I wish to thank Senator Menard and her family for the decades of public service she and her family have given to the Valley and state in both the private and public sectors.

Her contributions and that of her late husband, Curt, are well known to many and appreciated by all. Suffice to say, Alaska and the Mat-Su Valley are better places as a result of Linda and Curt’s contributions.

Next time you see Linda, please join me in thanking her for her service to our state and community.

In the coming months, I look forward to working with Linda and her staff as we transition to new leadership in Juneau.

I agree with Linda’s desire to ensure the Valley gets its fair share of funding for infrastructure projects and education and for getting more oil flowing in the pipeline, and will work diligently toward that end.

I also wish to thank you, those voters who exercised their precious right to vote, for your support.

I will work hard to earn your continued confidence and all of us working as a team will make sure that the voices of the Valley are heard in Juneau.
