Jeff Connolly promises to bring calm to Bonner County government. Thank goodness.

As a result of the my-way-or-the-highway approach of current Bonner County Commissioner Todd Sudick, the county faces multiple lawsuits that will cost local taxpayers many thousands of unnecessary dollars.

Sudick’s newspaper ad promises “Professional Business Like Government.” Really? Firing people? Dismantling the county’s planning processes?

Fortunately we have a good alternative. Jeff Connolly, a native of Priest River, is respected for decades of community service, including 15 years on the Priest River City Council. He has been a logger for 39 years and, as a member of the Panhandle Forest Collaborative, he knows how to work with others to find solutions to complicated problems.

Jeff Connolly has demonstrated effective leadership in public office. He knows that good outcomes begin with public input, and require time and patience.

Retire Todd Sudick. Vote for Jeff Connolly for Commissioner, District 2.
