I am writing in support of Shirley Ringo’s bid for Congress.

Shirley was a tireless advocate for education during her 14 years as a representative in the Idaho Legislature. She also spent more than 25 years in education, teaching math and lobbying for programs that have helped prepare Idaho students for college and their future careers.

As a member of Congress representing Idaho’s 1st Congressional District, Shirley will work tirelessly to enhance the economic outlook for the state by fighting to raise the minimum wage and working to ensure businesses and workers have adequate infrastructure.

Shirley will consider the long-term effects of her votes and make wise decisions that will help the people of Idaho. I would be very proud to have her as my representative in Washington, D.C.

SHEILA GARY
