North Idaho is indeed a long way from Boise. If we hope to be heard there, we need to hire a strong, competent, informed voice to speak for District 1.

Rep. Heather Scott is that voice: passionate about representing her constituents, informed on issues, engaged in words and action. Fighting for you, she shines the light of transparency (web site URL http://voteheatherscott.com/) and provides clarity on issues, rules and regulations.

Heather is not ‘owned’ by any special interest group. That makes her a rarity when too many politicians have uncomfortably cozy relationships with big business, out-of-state power brokers and unions. Heather, on the other hand, makes it clear that you the taxpayer are her boss.

Heather is focused on your priorities and stands as a visible and responsive champion for government accountability with your tax money so that we do have funds for education — and roads, law enforcement and other issues important to North Idahoans.

Contrast that with her opponent du jour, who at forums has demonstrated a “deer-in-the-headlights” response to basic issues: overtaxation, Second Amendment and water adjudication, to name a few.

On Nov. 6, be the boss like our future depends on it (because it does!) —- hire Heather Scott to work for you!
