Opinion: As a veteran, I know Gara cares about veterans

I’m supporting Les Gara for governor because he’ll deal with our situation constructively.

The proposals Gov. Dunleavy has pushed and implemented for the last four years have wrecked our economy, put our public schools in crisis and degraded our quality of life. I’m supporting Les Gara for governor because he’ll deal with our situation constructively and pursue real opportunities like renewable energy to grow the economy, unlike Dunleavy who spends his time fighting federal boogey-men and trying to overturn fairly run elections.

As a veteran, I know Gara cares about veterans, supports state programs for veterans and will ensure that our service is honored and respected.
