VOTE: For this slate

Art Macomber has one of the best legal minds in the state. Art is already working for us. This year Art wrote two bills that breezed through the legislature. Art can see and avoid the “unintended consequences” caused by well-meaning but poorly written legislation.

Katy Sims has been a strong, constant defender of our rights and our tax dollars. Kathy is a pillar of the community. Kathy’s opponents call Kathy “obstructionist” because they think stopping waste and abuse is a bad thing. Kathy fights for accountability and transparency. Kathy tirelessly works to defend property rights, education and our community.

Don Cheatham has a lifetime of experience in keeping people safe and secure. Don brings this firsthand knowledge of what works and what doesn’t to the Legislature. Don knows how to protect our power grid and communication systems from attack. Don worked to keep architectural plans for public buildings out of the hands of terrorists. You will sleep better knowing Don is helping to protect us.

John Green (sheriff) has extensive training, certification and experience in law enforcement AND the law. Like Sheriff Wheeler in Bonner County, Sheriff John Green will protect us from out of control federal bureaucrats who violate our rights. John understands that having BLM or EPA or DEA or SSA in their title doesn’t give them the power to break the law.

Bob Bingham (commissioner) founded the Northwest Property Owner’s Alliance. Bob also helped defeat ULUC, Streamline and Impact Fees. Bob has proven he understands county budgets, the proper role of government and will defend your property rights. Bob is by far the best qualified candidate.
