Mark Sauter is the right one for the job

A recent letter to the editor was headlined “Jane is the 'right' Sauter”

That letter had me asking; “How do we pick the ‘right’ Sauter?”

Consider three points: labels, campaign contributions, and IFF rating.

A newbie wing of the Republican party has taken to labeling those not sharing their views as a closet Democrat or RINO. This is not the GOP most of us have known.

The GOP most of us have known supports Idaho values including solid infrastructure, favorable business climate, good jobs and a decent quality of life. Mark Sauter works hard to ensure his bills are constituent driven. Whether it is maintaining water levels in Lake Pend Oreille or defending local control, Mark is on the job.

Campaign contributions show Mark Sauter’s are balanced between corporate donors and individuals. The individuals represent Idahoans. The corporate donors are north Idaho and Idaho businesses. These businesses make our economy strong and provide jobs for our families.

IFF ratings? These are based on how the legislator votes on IFF favored bills. Do you want your legislator working for the IFF or for you?

Yes, it is important to pick the right Sauter. I want a representative who represents me and my concerns.

When I get my May 19 Republican Primary ballot I’m voting for the ‘right’ Sauter. I’m making my mark for Mark.
