Laurie Thomas, Republican candidate for Kootenai County Treasurer, has served as Deputy Treasurer for the past 13 years. These years of hard work and dedication have prepared her well to be the next Kootenai County Treasurer.

Laurie has proven to the voters of Kootenai County that she is trustworthy, strictly follows the rule of the law for the office of County Treasurer, and will serve us well in all capacities.

The extensive community volunteer activities she has been involved with exemplify her commitment and caring toward the community she has been a part of for 48 years.

Tom Malzahn, retiring Treasurer, has endorsed Laurie Thomas for the position of Kootenai County Treasurer. I congratulate the job well done by Tom and Laurie over the past 13 years, and believe a vote for Laurie Thomas for Treasurer is a vote for continued office integrity and financial security of our tax dollars.
