BRUNING: Cares about Coeur d'Alene

John Bruning is by far the better candidate in the race for the City Council and should retain his seat simply because he actually CARES about the citizens of Coeur d'Alene. John works hard day to day alongside his allies at the HELP Center, St. Vincent de Paul, and both of the Homeless Coalitions. He has stood shoulder to shoulder with the Disability Community, Seniors, and people who are trying to improve their lives.

John is a man of ethics, compassion and empathy. He is exactly what this city needs to retain on the council.

Unlike Mr. Adams, who wants to cut firefighter, police, education and other important services while trying to turn back the progress of this fair city, John Bruning brings common sense, compassion and true leadership. John knows what it takes to make this city a better place.

This is the easiest vote one could make:

Mr. Adams equals backwards thinking and serious undermining of the vital services we all need.

John Bruning equals forward thinking, common sense and ethical leadership.

Vote for John Bruning if you actually want Cd'A to be a great city that actually cares about all its citizens and all the issues this city will face for short and long term ahead.
