After we vote Nov. 5, at least half of Sandpoint’s City Council will be new or have only two years of experience. The city is complicated to run: water, sewer, police, fire, streets, planning and development, parks and recreation, and budgeting for it all. We need some experience on council.

Deb Ruehle is running to stay on council. She is a voice for reason, fiscal responsibility, and families. She cares about affordability, listens to residents and businesses, and thinks through issues carefully. After six years on council, she knows how to avoid pitfalls and keep basic functions going. Deb’s a physical therapist, so she sees the challenges that many, of all ages, deal with. Her boys are in school and activities.

Deb is a problem solver and team player. Vote for Deb Ruehle.
