Your primary vote is important

As the primary approaches here are some final thoughts. Scott Herndon and several of his hand-selected candidates supported by the BCRCC are extreme supporters of the Idaho Freedom Foundation. Their approach relies on smear tactics, spreading misinformation and lies about their conservative opponents, including those they label as RINOs.

So, to all my conservative Republican and Democratic friends who have changed parties and want to make a difference, your vote on May 19 is critical to common sense governance.

Mark Sauter is looking out for the best interests of those that he represents in Bonner and Boundary counties. He has been a team player in Boise who carefully analyzed a couple of hundred bills with the intent of making good decisions representing his constituents. He deserves your vote.

Suggest that we all make a concerted effort to ensure that all our voting family and friends get to the poles. I plan to support Mark Sauter, Jim Woodward, Chuck Lowman, and Richard Townsend in this critical primary, and I encourage you to consider candidates who represent common-sense government.
