As a former educator, I have a tendency to judge work well done by observing the individual I am recommending.

Having known Matthew Peterson, who is running for re-election for state representative, for many years, a recommendation will be easy for me.

I have watched Peterson in his capacity as a legislator and there is no doubt that he is knowledgeable, dependable and extremely accessible to all the people he represents. That is most important to me.

He can work with both parties and researches both sides of an issue before making his decision. I like that.

He represents his constituents with sincerity and I am very proud to be voting for Matthew Peterson in the coming election to help him continue his fine record.
