May primaries are getting closer. If you've noticed there are signs going up that state that "May Matters." It certainly does as it's the way to get Jim Woodward on the ballot. He needs to be there so we, the voters, can work together to remove Scott Herndon from the District 1 Idaho Senate seat — a place where he should never have been in the first place. The negative impact around him is like a dark cloud.

We need Jim Woodward, who is an honest man who cares about us and Idaho. He does not spew negativity by talking out of both sides of his mouth. He favors public education and will fight for it. He is known for trying his very best to uphold his oath. He will fight for schools, local businesses, among many other things, and most importantly for us, his constituents. He is honest, loyal to Idaho and really cares about all of us. He is a native Idahoan, has fought for this country in the military, and will fight for us.

Please join me and many others to get Jim Woodward on the ballot by voting in the May primaries. 

May matters — it surely does. Vote for Jim Woodward.
