How do you decide who to vote for?

The Declaration of Independence tell us that government’s job is to protect life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Therefore, when deciding how to vote, we must make our choice based on which candidate understands this and will faithfully apply it.

Life: State Representative Sage Dixon is 100 percent pro-life and has a rock-solid record of standing up for the most vulnerable among us.

Liberty: Rep. Dixon understands that government governs best which governs least. He has fought to preserve state sovereignty, reduce regulations and taxes, and insure that Idaho’s citizens are free to live as they see fit under the law.

Pursuit of Happiness: Rep. Dixon has shown through his time in the Idaho House that when government gets out of the way, business can thrive, allowing you to get the most out of your hard work.

The job of government is to protect our rights. This November, apply this simple test to any candidate you vote for. Are they doing their job?

Sage Dixon is, and he deserves your vote, Tuesday, Nov. 8.
