Dear editor,
This is my opportunity to say a good word about Ed Bideau and why he should be elected to the 9th District Kansas House position. I have known Ed since the days he was in my classroom, and it has been my pleasure as a former teacher to have followed his academic and professional career. He has been dedicated to leading a respectable path throughout his life in this community. With his education and experience, he has the background and ability to study the issues and use his own processes to arrive at sound judgments and he is not afraid of the hard work that is required.
A major area where governmental support has diminished in recent years is public education. Ed believes in our schools and will put his efforts into making excellence in education a high priority once again.
One of the things we ask and pray for in our representatives is honesty. Can we count on members of Congress to keep their honesty even in difficult times when political influences are pulling to the right or the left? Will this representative or that one go down with others and stray from their ethics, allegiance, and responsibility? Ed Bideau will be true to his promises and beliefs! It is my sincere belief that Ed will listen to all citizens, that he will respond when asked, and that he will carry our needs to Topeka.
