May matters so plan to vote

Politics have never been top on my list of interests; however, the numerous bills coming out of Boise do not reflect my rights or values. I never want guns in schools or at music festivals. I don’t want armed militias walking the streets. I don’t want my tax dollars going to ludicrous law suits.

But I believe there is a quality candidate to vote for in the May primary. JIM WOODWARD already had my vote due to his past record in the senate. Then I got to spend two hours with him at a Meet and Greet. I was so impressed with his gentle yet confident demeanor and common sense. He has the knowledge, experience, and passion to work for North Idaho. He’s deeply committed and he actually listens.

I know it is convenient to leave politics to everyone else. Writing letters, following bills and meeting our candidates takes time. But we cannot afford to be passive right now in North Idaho. Make plans to get involved. Your vote counts.

Let’s get Jim Woodward back where he belongs: on the ballot. I want someone like Jim representing me. I’m tired of the craziness and scary bills coming out of Boise.
