HEARN: Calm and solid

| September 28, 2016 9:00 PM

Tom Hearn is the voice we need to represent us in Boise. By far, he is the most qualified candidate to become our next legislator. Tom is a respected mental health professional who dedicated his career to making life better for struggling individuals. He stepped up to fill a position on the local school board when a calm, solid voice was needed.

As an educator, I know that Tom’s voice will represent us with the same calm, but firm dedication he has shown to making wise decisions about kids and schools. Education in Idaho needs his knowledge to take education policy into the next level while utilizing limited funds. I have complete faith he will bring great, respected influence from North Idaho to Boise.

Tom’s experience will bring guidance to other legislators in the areas of mental health and equitable tax distribution, as well. He knows from years of experience that making the best decision is never easy and you have to roll up your sleeves and be willing to do the work.

I’ve had the privilege of serving on Tom’s team and have gone from being sure he’s the best candidate to being reassured he will be the change we deserve and the voice we need. Indeed, no one else has his capabilities, his reassuring voice, and his understanding of Idaho’s legislative process.
