Rathdrum's Mayor, VIC HOLMES, is a natural leader; he knows how to lead and is eager to serve Rathdrum.

He shows up when he says he will. He goes the "extra mile" and is accessible. He knows almost everyone in town.

Under his direction, the city has completed numerous projects including day to day requirements, as well as upgrading city parks without significant tax increases.

The candidate running against him has not appeared at the public forums or even at City Council meetings. It is not clear to us why this individual is running or what he proposes to do that is not already being done by Mayor Holmes.

We encourage Rathdrum city residents to reelect Mayor Holmes. He is a man of integrity who brings honor to the office he holds. He presents a positive "can do" image for Rathdrum.
