Stephen Howlett, candidate for District 1, Seat B state representative, knows the people of Bonner and Boundary counties very well. He has been here for 49 years, working first in the lumber industry and then as a building contractor for the past 30 years.

He supports improving our educational system and access to health care, putting public lands and economic interests on equal grounds with protections for the environment, and a commitment to repair our crumbling highway infrastructures. He supports Proposition 2 that expands Medicaid and allows for wellness care to keep our workforce and their families healthy and productive.

He supports improving our educational system and providing a stipend to repay part of a student’s loan debt. Howlett wants Idaho’s economy to work for all its citizens. He supports increasing the minimum wage, and keeping Idaho rural industries profitable. He supports the Second Amendment and wants gun owners to be competent and to be advocates for proper handling.

Married, with a daughter and two grandchildren, he has been a volunteer with the Boundary County Ambulance Association for 18 years, and served as the chairman of the Boundary County Parks and Recreation Department for 17 years.

“I am a working Idahoan and I will bring the values of other working Idahoans to the Legislature, he says. “I am running to give a voice to District 1 voters who are not being heard by the Idaho Legislature.”
