Shoshone County Candidate Profile: Jerry Moody (R) PC Mullan

Name: Jerry Moody 

Age: 76 

Political Affiliation: Republican Party 

Precinct: Mullan, Idaho 

What do you see as your primary duty of a precinct committeeman, and why are you interested in serving in this position? 

Attending monthly meetings and addressing issues affecting the entire community in Shoshone County. Gain insight from my constituents' concerns and working on a plan to address the problems. Mullan is where we decided to spend our retirement years. The bike trail was a big part in our decision to come here. We lived in Lewiston Idaho and had always planned on moving back to this great state. I joined the Marine Corps because of my beliefs in the freedoms afforded us by our Constitution, and with that comes accountability. Raising difficult questions in an open forum such as social media has allowed people to use their voice and sometimes challenge the status quo. 

How would I work to engage voters, support organizations, and represent your precinct at the county or district level. 

I find sharing my opinions and asking questions has helped me to engage the public and define the issues. I take the information back to the committee meetings with the goal of writing resolutions to present to the district, and state representatives in the state. I have attended Town Hall Meetings in Kootenai County and attended the state convention in Coeur d’Alene last year. I also attend Commissioners meetings when controversial issues are on the agenda to gain insight in the challenges and how they are resolved.
