WHALEN: Personal testimonial for Pat

When I first heard that Pat Whalen was running for senate, I couldn’t help but think how good he would be for the Post Falls/Rathdrum area. The first time I met the Whalen family I was down on my luck and was without a place to stay. They graciously took me in and gave me my own room to stay in while I finished my senior year of high school. They never asked anything of me but to do my best, graduate high school and succeed as a person.

Without speaking about Pat’s direct political viewpoints, I can personally attest to the extreme amount of kindness and generosity Pat and his family have shown me, and many other people in our community. Without the Whalens I would not be where I am today and I know Pat will do great things for our community if elected.
