WRITING LETTERS
Writing letters to the editor as well as letters to your friends is critical to the success of this campaign. Our communities are small, and we value each others' opinions. This guide will help with the logistics for writing a letter to the editor and will provide a framework for concisely and effectively framing why you support Laura Puckett Daniels for Gunnison County Commissioner.
WRITING A LETTER TO THE EDITOR
Think about why you support Laura Puckett Daniels and why you think others should do the same. Here's some sample text to get you started.
​
I support Laura Puckett Daniels for County Commission. Laura is a strong, experienced leader who is committed to our communities. She has served Gunnison County for 13 years - first working in the service industry and coaching our children, then teaching our children, and pivoting to work at CBMBA and now CB Nordic supporting our county’s nonprofits. She is passionate about our students, recreation, and our County’s future. Gunnison County is at a tipping point. Laura is the leader we need to protect our vibrant communities, fight for housing for everyone, and foster environmental resiliency. I am voting for Laura Puckett Daniels, and I think you should, too.
