Write in Steve Johnson for state senator

We need a man like Steve Johnson to represent us in the Idaho Senate. I have met Steve. I find him to be a respectful listener and sensible man. He is a locally raised-and-educated Idahoan. He spent 42 years as a teacher and principal in our local schools. As a farmer and landowner, he believes in preserving our rural lifestyle with common-sense development as well as keeping our public lands public.

He will fight to lower property tax by doubling the homeowner’s exemption.

He supports public education.

He supports funding for Idaho's sorely needed infrastructure improvements.

He believes women should have the right to medical privacy in making their own decisions regarding contraception, reproduction and healthcare.

He is a gun owner who believes in common-sense gun laws.

These are issues many of us care about. By turning a blind eye to extremists like his opponent, Scott Herndon, our rights are slowly being taken away in the name of “Liberty and Freedom.” I do not want the “freedom” to be told who to love, where to worship, what to read or when to have children. Those should be private choices and decisions. While we still have the freedom to vote, we need everyone to participate. Please write in Steve Johnson’s name for State Senator on your November ballot. And don't forget to fill in the bubble. Thank you.
