LYDELL J. "JONNY R" ROBERTS FOR CHAIRMAN OF RED LAKE

I’ve been fortunate enough to travel the country doing comedy the past 12 years to places I never thought my big mouth could make possible. Los Angeles, Dallas, Seattle, Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix were the huge cities I’ve been to. But it’s those small towns like Poplar, Montana or Warm Springs, Oregon… Warba, Minnesota (!) that showed me that no matter how remote the area was, it was the people that lived there that made their economy possible. Small, family owned business that provided what their town needed is all it takes for an area to survive. People relied on each other, believed in each other. It was inspiring to see.
