Dear editor,
Returning to Chanute in 1967 we’ve considered it a privilege to know Ed Bideau as a personal friend, fellow committee member, as our county attorney and state representative. We admire his trust worthiness, knowledge and integrity and would trust him explicitly to fairly represent all of us in southeast Kansas.
Vote for Ed Bideau on Tuesday.
Dave and Alice Robinson,
Chanute, Kan.
Dear editor,
I endorse Ed Bideau for 9th District representative for the Kansas House and urge your support and vote for him on Tuesday.
Though I don’t know what I might write that hasn’t already been said or written, I will share some thoughts based on my personal and professional contacts with Ed (beginning in the early 1980s when he was Neosho County attorney and continuing to today).
Without exception, I know Ed to be a man of unquestionable honesty and integrity, strong in his convictions, personal faith and beliefs, and committed to his family. I support Ed because I know that he will objectively examine an issue, because he has the heart, the intellect and the analytical skills to do so, and because he will not act from a preconceived conclusion or position.
I know that he will not always agree with what I might think to be best, but also know that differing points of view will be respectfully and reasonably considered. As a Kansas “representative” I believe that Ed understands that he would truly “represent” the people of his district — all of them. And as his son has said, “Ed helps people” and, I believe, truly likes people — a quality that should not be undervalued.
For all the above reasons, I will vote for Ed on Tuesday, and respectfully urge you to vote for him, also.
Tom Mikulka,
Chanute, Kan.
Dear editor,
Through adversity, through turmoil, through a flood, there is one candidate for state representative of District 9 that we are convinced will stand up for what this district needs. And that person is Judy Brigham. Someone who is kind and considerate, yet has tireless energy to fight for what we need in this district.
Judy is a very intelligent person and has a lot of experience to go forth as our state representative. She will put the needs of her constituents first and foremost. Judy is honest and has integrity and that is definitely something we need more of in government.
Please join with us as we vote for Judy Brigham for our state representative for the 9th District.
Bill and Gayle Campbell,
Iola, Kan.
Dear editor,
The 12th Senate District here is an important race and I will vote for Caryn Tyson.
