WorkingPeople
TRUST. LOYALITY. IN BUTTE AND ANACONDA, YOU’VE GOT TO EARN IT. JOHN HAS!
John was elected Montana House Democratic Minority Leader, Majority Leader and twice as Speaker of the House with the votes of every single Democratic Representative from Butte and Anaconda.
John stood by Butte, Anaconda and working people for 16 years in the Montana House. He’s still doing it on the PSC. Here’s how.......
WITHOUT JOHN’S VOTE, THE MILL CREEK-DAVID GATES GENERATING PLANT WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN BUILT.
“Fifteen minutes before the PSC vote to approve or deny this critical project (and the jobs and tax base it promised) it’s fate was in John’s hands. One Commissioner was a sure "no” vote. Another was a "yes." Two other Commissioners were ready to vote "no," but only if John would. If John votes "no" The Mill Creek vote fails 4 to 1 and the plant doesn’t get built. John did the Right Thing. He voted "yes."
Mill creek passed, created new jobs and is now providing needed electrical generation, more new jobs and boosting the local tax base.
John also voted for Northwestern Energy’s Spion Kop wind project, a 40 mw facility that will provide even more good jobs and clean, low cost electricity (lower cost than coal) to Montana rate payers - without having to use emi-nent domain to secure the needed right of way for transmission.
Just as he did in the legislature, John came through for Butte and Anaconda. He always has. He always will.”
JOHN VINCENT IS THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATE FOR PSC DISTRICT 3 THAT LIVES FULL TIME AND WORKS FULL TIME IN DISTRICT 3
“GOOD DEMOCRATS, GOOD PEOPLE.”
"John and Peggy Vincent have never forgotten their working class roots. Life long union members, they know hard work and they know hard times. John drove truck, worked in water and sewer construction, and taught school. Peggy cut and wrapped meat, worked in a bakery, as a waitress and as a crossing guard until she became disabled with MS.
John has never turned his back on working people during his 30 years in elected offi ce. John and Peggy Vincent. Good Democrats. Good People." — Jennifer Blossom, (D) Gallatin County Auditor
