If you knew Shirley Azzopardi as I have known her, over the years, you would know her as a person of exceptional character, personal strength, and perseverance. She is, in my opinion, the kind of person we would be lucky to have in the Montana Legislature to represent all of us, even those of us who may have ideas different from Shirley’s. That’s because she is a person of integrity and a person who will, I guarantee, genuinely be interested in hearing your feelings on a subject and listening to your ideas. That’s what any representative should do.
