Matthee cares about issues important to us

Please vote for Karen Matthee.

She will use her extensive experience to strongly represent bi-partisan constituents, and unify policymakers for success in passing initiatives important to all North Idaho voters. Karen understands adversity and her history as a journalist makes her a great candidate to work hard and overcome political hurdles. I am particularly interested in her plans to:

1. Lower the cost of living by addressing increasing property taxes

2. Bring our doctors back. I work in healthcare and the lack of women’s health services is affecting the future of our community.

3. Support public schools and libraries. I was educated in public school and believe all Americans deserve access to good quality public education. Private education should be funded privately. Teachers are a very important part of the fabric of our community!

I believe it is high time that our public servants demonstrate the work ethic and tenacity it takes to survive as a middle-class American. If we do not focus on compromise, communication and service our communities will continue to suffer and decline. I was impressed when I was lucky enough to see Karen speak publicly and I believe she possesses the tenacity and experience we need for a new generation of politics in Idaho.
