Owens endorses Riter, Caltabiano

My name is Mark E Owens and I wanted to notify Whitefish voters that I have decided to pull my name out of the running for Whitefish City Council for personal reasons.

Instead, I would request that folks who may have planned on voting for me would instead consider casting their votes for Kristen Riter as the candidate that best reflects my views and vision on the future for Whitefish.

I would also request that folks in Whitefish support another candidate to win a second seat on the city council — Giuseppe Caltabiano as another excellent choice to lead Whitefish toward a better future.

Unfortunately my name was not withdrawn in time to have it removed from the voting ballot. This is why I am sending this letter to the editor to inform Whitefish voters of my decision to withdraw.

Mark Owens, Whitefish
