Knickelbine Supports Downing

Dear Editor,
These days it seems that political leaders who are dedicated to public service instead of partisan gamesmanship are in short supply. Those of us who live in southwestern Dane County have been fortunate to have one such leader, Pat Downing, represent us on the County Board.
Pat has served in public office for many years, and throughout that time he’s demonstrated his ability to listen to his constituents and get results for the 30th District. He has championed efforts to keep our county highways in good repair, to promote the expansion of rural broadband, and to support effective mental health services and programs that help seniors. Pat’s been especially good at protecting our lakes, streams and green spaces, and at helping local communities cope with the rapid growth the region has seen in recent years.
Pat is beholden to no party or ideology. His only concern has been to do the will of his constituents. That’s why I’m voting to give Pat Downing another term on the Dane County Board.
Mark Knickelbine,
