ADDIS: For state representative

We’re writing in support of Jim Addis, candidate for State Representative in District 4 Seat A Coeur d’Alene. We’ve had the opportunity to know and work with Jim for more than a decade. We want to share with you our observations regarding his dedication, resourcefulness, and his ability to connect with people from all walks of life in a thoughtful and meaningful way.

You may be aware that Jim and his family have done business in Kootenai County for many years, you may not be aware of the generosity he and his entire family have displayed over the years. Everything from giving away cars to deserving seniors in our community to helping fund teacher grants so that our kids have opportunities they may not have had otherwise.

We’ve watched as Jim and Terri have given not only treasure but time to so many causes. Serving with him on the Boys and Girls Club board along with his commitments to the Excel Foundation and Backpacks for Kids and so many others.

We know he will work hard for the citizens of Coeur d’Alene when it comes to education, health care, transportation and economic development. All things that he has worked on at a statewide level for many years. Jim believes that everyone deserves a quality education and quality health care. He also believes and will work toward solutions when it comes to transportation and developing economic opportunity for all of our people.

Finally, we know that Jim will work with a collaborative heart respecting all points of view while looking out for the taxpayers paying the bills. We urge you to consider your choice and vote for experience. Vote Jim Addis.

JEFFREY L. and JULI SMITH
