Susan Shea is the true conservative choice. The Bonner County Republican Central Committee and Idaho Freedom Foundation have basically hijacked true conservatism. They espouse far right, Christian nationalism, inspired by the Redoubt concept, which is parallel to the Aryan Nations that were expelled from this area 30 or so years ago.
True conservative values are:
- Limited government — Susan supports your 1A rights, the other candidate came here from California and basically wants to decide for you. That's not limited government.
- Individual liberty, live and let live — ties in closely to 1. Susan wants to provide a well-functioning library, and that's it. The other has a very strange vendetta for members of the LGBTQIA+ community.
- Fiscal responsibility — Susan is your candidate. She has expanded library services while maintaining low taxes. The other candidate even admitted the library has reserve money. Worse, the other candidate supported HB314. Aside from the neighbor turning in neighbor aspect, which is East German Stasi stuff, how is it fiscally conservative to support a law that would cause the library to have legal fees that get passed on to you?
Vote for responsibility, civility and true conservative values. Vote for Susan Shea, not the fringe, far right that has hijacked the local GOP.
