One of our most important votes this election should be for Diane Tebelius who is running to replace Ross Hunter in the Legislature. She is a former math teacher and federal prosecutor, so her skills will help cut excessive spending and help solve the looming $4.5 billion state deficit. She vows to help working families by lowering taxes, supporting jobs for small business and all around economic growth.

She is opposing Hunter who is the architect of our current unsustainable state budget, and as House Finance Chair-

man raised taxes on families and small business by $800 million this year alone. He voted 98 percent of the time with “spending” Democrats.

After his eight years, it’s time he is replaced with a money conserving, educated, hard working candidate.
