Letter to the Editor - Lindsey Ratliff deserves your vote

Editor,

I am writing on behalf of my friend, mentor and City Council candidate Lindsey Ratliff.

I first met Mrs. Lindsey Ratliff my sophomore year of high school as my history teacher. Although it was her first year as a teacher, with her undying determination and commitment to her students, Ms. Ratliff was more than efficient in education, she was inspirational.

Lindsey has also proven to have excellent management and leadership abilities. My junior year, she persuaded me to attend the Close Up trip to Washington, D.C. Not only was she good at providing new and exciting opportunities for everybody, but was able to successfully manage a group a high-school students through the big city for an entire week and return us more educated, experienced, and excited about American history and our future. The Close Up trip proved to be one of my most valuable and favorable high school memories. She continues to prove her ability to lead and manage every year by organizing this trip.

Lindsey will demonstrate the same determination, commitment, management skills, and creative problem solving that she puts forth with every endeavor as your City Council representative, and that is why she deserves your vote.

Sincerely,

Ty Pyette

Former Havre High School student
