Vote for Heather Scott. She is the one who will protect our freedoms and work for us in the House.

Almost daily I see letters against Heather which claim or accuse, but give no facts or reason. Please use your common sense and your brain. Don’t let rhetoric or sound bites make your choices.

Here’s a common claim I see used against Heather Scott. She “always votes against our kids” by voting against education budgets. Ask “why?” In the education budgets that are presented are significant waste and overspending. So much duplication of effort and financing that Heather wants to make a point by registering her vote against them. Does it turn the tide and cause the budget to fail? No, there are plenty of politicians in Boise who say they are for limited government and fiscal responsibility and yet don’t vote that way. These budgets pass year after year. She is one of a minority in Boise who want to see the taxes of Idahoans used wisely. She is working for us.

Another claim I hear is about why Heather went out to Priest River to support the veteran who was threatened with having his firearms taken away. Isn’t that what our representatives are supposed to do, help their constituents out when facing challenges? She went to help protect his rights. Heather wants North Idahoans to keep our hard earned freedoms. She works very hard to that end. Support Heather Scott.
