EVANS: Time for her youthful energy

When I saw that Amy Evans is running for Coeur d’Alene’s City Council this year, I was relieved. She’s the face of a new generation and of our city’s bright future. I’m ready for a young, energetic force with fresh ideas to help guide our beautiful city’s development and forward progress. Amy has proved her passion for Coeur d’Alene and demonstrated the skills essential to our City Council by leading the charge to save Sorensen Elementary and by serving on the city’s Planning Commission for six years. Neighborhood schools are the foundation of a healthy community. She proved her ability to unite people for the common good by recruiting the Kroc Center’s first 22,000 members and leading Ironman Coeur d’Alene volunteers for 10 years. She was so effective that Ironman named her Volunteer Captain of the Year. She proved her incredible energy by competing in Ironman twice.

Amy is an Idaho native. She and her husband Doug own their home. Their children attend Coeur d’Alene schools. Amy has invested herself in Coeur d’Alene and represents our hope for an exciting future. That’s why I will vote for her for City Council on Nov. 5. Please join me.
