2010 - Montana Green Party candidate Cheryl Wolfe of Polson announces her campaign for House District No. 11 Representative

Montana Green Party candidate Cheryl Wolfe of Polson announces her campaign for House District No. 11 Representative

With the help of local volunteers, Cheryl Wolfe gained enough signatures to get on the ballot as a minor party candidate. “Lots of people don’t know about the Green Party but most of the people I spoke with felt that increased public participation is a good thing. Many people who signed are not Green Party members but felt as I do, that too many of our elected representatives are working for party politics, special interests and the money and power that paid to put them there. As an ordinary person I don’t feel represented and wanted a better choice. That’s why I’m running,” said Ms. Wolfe.

Before moving to Montana in 1995 to be close to family, Ms. Wolfe worked various jobs including some involving mud, blood, and beer. From picking strawberries in Oregon and selling her own bedding plants from a greenhouse, spending three years as a veterinary assistant in New Mexico, volunteer work as an EMT in Colorado, and managing ski resort beverage department services and catering at a ski resort for several years, “long hours and hard work weren’t enough to support my family.” She worked her way through college as a single mother to graduate with honors, continued her studies to pass the CPA exam, and completed the experience requirements to qualify for her license in 1998. “Most of my work since then has been in private industry with many different types of businesses and individuals and I’ve had the opportunity to see a lot of pain and a lot of waste. Between the economic situation, ineffective regulation, and politicians who use fear and misinformation to divide people, we are being squeezed from all directions. I’m not willing to give in to cynicism, though; I truly believe we can improve our situation by working together and persisting in spite of the serious challenges we face.”
