Since then, the Cantaloupe Festival marks the anniversary of our moving to Fallon.” The Kelly’s have made Fallon their home, and Kelli has becomes a tremendous advocate for her community.  Kelli is the Executive Director of the Fallon Food Hub, working to support local agricultural producers.

Our farmers, ranchers, and dairymen work tirelessly to raise food for people, and feed for livestock--I love promoting products raised in Churchill County and encouraging people to source their food from within our foodshed.”  Said Kelly. Additionally Kelli serves on the Board of Directors for the Fallon Youth Club, the Career and Technical Education Advisory Committee - Churchill County School District and the Churchill County Library Board of Trustees. "When I first moved to Churchill County with my husband Neil, I fell fast-and-hard in love with this amazing community. I am delighted to live in a place where it is so easy to get involved and to make a difference--which is exactly what I sought to do through involvement with non-profits focused on youth, education, and local food.  It is my hope to continue to grow my support and involvement in our community by running for Churchill County Commissioner representing District 3.” The general election will be held in November of 2020, filing dates and dates of the primary election will be announced as they become available.

We reached out to the writer/submitter and got this info back...hope it's helpful. PBM: Pharmacy Benefit Managers are pharmacies that are owned by insurance companies. (CVS is one.) They negotiate with drug makers to get reduced pricing for medications, but they historically have not passed along those savings to patients. https://www.ftc.gov/system/files/ftc_gov/pdf/pharmacy-benefit-managers-staff-report.pdf MFN: Most Favored Nation pricing is a policy that means a country agrees to offer the same trade concessions (like tariffs or price reductions) to all member nations of the World Trade Organization (WTO). When applied to pharmaceuticals, it could disrupt global access, deter innovation, and obscure the deeper systemic issues in American health care. https://petrieflom.law.harvard.edu/2025/05/22/the-global-risks-of-americas-most-favored-nation-drug-pricing-policy/Comment publication date: 6/23/25, 7:47 AMComment source: L E T T E R TO THE EDITOR
