MARANO: Civic roots run deep

When I look at Legislative candidates, I look for someone who has a history of being involved in our community. In the race for House Seat 4B, I see one person who has been involved in her community in a variety of ways. Paula Marano is a participant in some County Fair events and in the past, played violin in the North Idaho Symphony. She is involved in local public education, her church, in bringing financial literacy to adults and children, and is a member of the Chamber of Commerce and the Kootenai Environmental Alliance.

Paula values the working relationships of profits and nonprofit groups working together for the betterment of the community. I look for someone who is willing to listen to all sides of an issue and weigh the pros and cons from each side. It is important for someone to represent their constituents, not some special interest group.

Please join me in voting on Nov. 2 for Paula Marano for State Representative, Seat B.
