Wants a debate

| September 1, 2014 6:25 AM

As a Montana voter, I make decisions about political candidates based on their transparency of what they think is best for our great state.

I consider venues where candidates stand together and answer non-scripted questions posed by news media and Montana voters, a true test of candidates’ ability to respond extemporaneously.

In the present candidacy for Montana’s U.S. House seat, I am very disappointed that Mr. Ryan Zinke will not step up to the plate and face the proverbal fast ball of questions that require quick thoughtful answers.

Instead, Mr. Zinke has chosen to take the careful path and use preplanned responses to preordained questions.
