Dear editor,
Ed Bideau is the clear choice for state representative to the Kansas House, 9th District. Ed Bideau and his family were among the first friends I made when I moved to Chanute in 1987. It quickly became apparent to me how much southeast Kansas means to Ed and his family, and how passionate he is for its history, and more importantly, for its future.
Ed has a proven record of supporting issues that are important to us. During his previous time in office, Ed Bideau helped our aging population through a bill which provided protection to elderly couples when nursing home care is required. His work on the House Labor and Industry Committee and House Judiciary Committee also had direct connections to issues that affect southeast Kansas.
Locally, Ed is not afraid to speak up for what is best for our community. Ed’s community involvement has always centered on working for individuals’ rights, not governmental control. Whether it is one of the many local committees or boards he is active on, or if it is in front of the city or county commission, Ed will stand up for what is right. Additionally, as an attorney and former Neosho County attorney, Ed Bideau is well educated on the complexities of local and regional governments.
If elected to the Kansas House, Ed will continue to support southeast Kansas by working to create jobs, to relieve undue tax pressures on farmers and property owners, and to boost economic development by working to decrease bureaucracy that stifles small business. Ed is a “doer,” and not a “talker.” In short, Ed will get the job done.
As a friend, I have found Ed to be moral, ethical, and true to his word. His involvement in local community and civic groups is diverse, and appreciated by all those with whom he serves.
When you go to the polls on Aug. 7, please vote for the candidate who has a proven record of doing what is best for southeast Kansas. Please vote for Ed Bideau for state representative, 9th District.

Dear editor,
I have known Ed Bideau and his wonderful family for more than 30 years. I actually knew his mom and dad very well, too.
I don’t think I need to tell any of you how much God, family and service have taken priority in all of their lives, but I am honored to have this opportunity to testify to the kind of man I know Ed to be.
His word is his bond and his integrity goes unquestioned. If Ed takes on a responsibility, you can be sure that he will complete it in a thorough, efficient and timely manner. The one thing that you won’t experience is Ed “tootin’ his own horn” (as my NaNa used to say about braggarts.) What I am saying is, Ed gets the job done!
Since we’re living in such uncertain times, Ed is the man that I want representing me in Topeka. He cares deeply about the concerns of seniors, he is a businessman, a lawyer and truthful and trustworthy to his core !
Please join me and cast your vote on Aug. 7 for Ed Bideau. He will be a strong voice for us seniors in our House of Representatives in Topeka.
Thank you so much for considering a vote for Ed Bideau.
Anita Fairchild,
Chanute, Kan.
