Larson, Matthee, Johnson are the right choice for LD1

Something I can’t understand is taking over my sensibilities. Maybe it’s smoke, the noise, traffic, the rude attitude, parking meters or the lack of affordable housing. I’ll start with affordability and equality. It is becoming impossible for young people to live here. The jobs just don’t provide incomes for rent or mortgages.

This isn’t new to us. I am among the disappointed folks who once believed Idaho was great. Our politicians are aware of the problem, but I look to them to join hands to fix the imbalance. The ‘Idaho Way’ to keep them in office seems to cut taxes for the wealthy, cut basic services for those less fortunate and reap the profits in order to dismantle our vision of what’s civil and fair.

We have lost doctors, our roads suffer, law enforcement needs help. Our kids are leaving for many of these reasons. I want to see Herndon, Rasor and Jane Sauter, funded by the Freedom Foundation, replaced. They vote against taxes that fund basic principles. It’s time to vote for people who have skills and heart to lead without self-interest and out-of-state money. Vote Kathryn Larsen, Karen Matthee, Steve Johnson. Vote! Your community is counting on you!
