Democrats, like Republicans, are Idahoans first

I’m a proud Democrat. I have lived in Idaho for over 50 years and in Bonner County for the past 38 years. Democrats live here and have for generations. We live here because we love it here.

In all these years, I have never met a Democrat who was a communist, socialist, or who hated our country. We are teachers, janitors, nurses, and business owners. We raise our families and volunteer in our community. Democrats are just people trying to do our best to make life better for our families and for our community.  

Karen Matthee, Kathryn Larson, and Steve Johnson are Democrats offering to serve our community as elected officials. Each is well qualified and wants to help make life better for all of us because they know that we are all connected.

I hope you will join me in attending the forums Oct. 2 and Oct. 15 at SHS auditorium at 5:30 p.m. Listen and vote for the person who you feel will best represent you and your family rather than just for the letter behind their name. We are, after all, Idahoans first.
