DOUG O: Prime problem solver

| April 11, 2020 1:00 AM

I’ve known Doug Okuniewicz for several years. He’s a staunch conservative and devoted husband and father who supports President Trump. Doug is smart and gets along well with other people. He’s also one heck of a shooter.

Doug and I have had a lot of discussions about the U.S. and Idaho. Doug doesn’t just talk about problems. He looks for effective solutions. When the Idaho Department of Corrections announced they were considering putting a Prison Reentry Center in our community, Doug did more than talk about why it was a bad idea. He did his research and drafted a code change that would give the county and other municipalities local control over placing a reentry center in Kootenai County. He’s shared this solution with the Kootenai County Board of County Commissioners, city council members and mayors throughout the area with good results.

I’m voting for Doug O. because we need fewer talkers and more problem solvers working for us in Boise!
