I am writing in support of David Stewart for County Commissioner, District 2.

I became acquainted with David Stewart at the tail end of our rural land use committee meetings. While I have not had as much experience with him as with Marc Eberlein, he strikes me as a man with considerable experience in land use issues and a sincere interest in serving all of the citizens of Kootenai County. He is also very committed to the founding principles of this country and the monumental importance of the principle of private property rights. He is also a successful small businessman that can bring that experience to the office of commissioner.

I wholeheartedly encourage everyone interested in preserving the founding principles of this nation within Kootenai County to vote for David Stewart for County Commissioner.
