We are lucky to have an excellent candidate who will work for ALL Idahoans in the upcoming election.

Karen Matthee is running for Legislative Seat 1A in North Idaho. She is by far the most qualified candidate to represent us. Karen has a rich, varied background: nonprofit work, journalism (old-school style with facts), editor of a parenting magazine, volunteer work. She meets challenges with full force.

“I’m running to fight for your freedom, your families, and for a state government that is responsible to all Idahoans,” Karen states. Read her website, reach out to her, listen to her … Karen is our best bet for Legislative Seat 1A. She will work successfully across the aisle, has real life practical solutions, ideas to help our families thrive in North Idaho.

Forget the labels: Republican, Democrats, independents. Look at the person, their mission. I have voted for Republicans (and not as a RINO), Democrats, independents. I look at the person, read about them, look into their background.

Karen is an outstanding candidate, the best representative we could have for Legislative Seat 1A. Yep, she is a Democrat, which may immediately influence a vote. Voters, do your research, read her website.

Thomas Jefferson famously wrote, “An educated citizenry is a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.” Do not go blindly into the polls voting by party only. Educate yourself. Go to kmattheeforidaho.com.
