Dear Editor,

Supervisor Pat Downing, County Board District 30, has been my County Supervisor for many years. He is reliable and accessible - returns phone calls promptly and follows up with his constituents on issues of interest to them. He has been a strong advocate on two issues important to me – rural broadband access and senior citizen programs. He has been willing to introduce and support funding requests for case management and nutrition programs that provide services to Dane County Seniors. He is willing to service on committees that support seniors and does not hesitate to question things that may not be in their best interest. He has been vocal about the need for better, more reliable broadband service for rural Dane County. Pat deserves reelection for his continued strong support and advocacy for the citizens of southwest Dane County. Vote for Pat Downing in the upcoming election.

Esther Olson,

Belleville

Senior citizen advocate and constituent
