VOTE: For the helpers

| May 12, 2018 1:00 AM

It’s refreshing to see a political candidate, (or seasoned politician), who actually gives back to their constituents rather than the perennial outstretched hand. Rebecca Schroeder has been traveling to Washington, D.C., for 10+ years to fight for children’s health care. Not just for her own son but for all children. She cares deeply about health care for the children of Idaho.

Judge John Mitchell (nonpartisan) has passionately been administrating the Mental Health Court in our county for many years. It’s not easy and it takes personal time and commitment to support his program. He saves lives, families, children and he saves the county/state thousands of dollars each year by offering successful alternatives to incarceration.

I’ll be voting for Rebecca and John and others who have shown a real commitment and sacrifice to help others.
