Mark Sauter for Boundary County, North Idaho

Mark Sauter is a rare exception in the political arena.

Whether you agree with him on certain viewpoints, legislation or ideologies. He carefully weighs the pros and cons of a topic while obtaining all the information available, to make an informed decision. He is not afraid to comment and give his opinion on a subject, which takes courage when your views may be contrary to others on an issue. 

Equally important is listening and then following up with steps to effective change, while simultaneously eliciting additional feedback, support and collaboration between groups. This results in a practical and realistic approach to solving problems based on real conditions rather than theories or ideals. Examples of his commitment include working with other legislators, to establish and expedite a plan and timetable for the Albeni Falls spill gate replacement, advocating for a longer summer pool on Lake Pend Oreille, supporting the Idaho Launch Program and his commitment to public safety and schools. Mark is a lifelong public servant, having served 30 years as a firefighter and fire chief.

It's easy to criticize and critique when you are sitting in the stands, Mark has been on the field making the tough calls for Idaho and Bonner County.
