Letter: Treadwell deserves Republican support

Rep. Les Gara wrote an excellent opinion piece in the Anchorage Daily News recently. He quite rightly pointed out that if it comes to a three-way race in November, former U.S. Sen. Mark Begich and Gov. Bill Walker could likely split the vote, allowing former Sen. Mike Dunleavy to win it all.

Mr. Dunleavy would make a very poor governor. He was stripped of his position in the Senate majority caucus, and his only answer to solving our fiscal crisis is to continue cutting the budget, which is already to the point of hurting our educational and health care programs, among others. His stated answer is to "find new revenue sources," without a hint of what these sources might be.
There is an obvious solution to this situation, and that is to support Mead Treadwell for governor in the Republican primary.
