ADDIS: Making Idaho better

My husband, Randy, and I moved to Coeur d’Alene in 1974, and when we settled here, we were glad to return to Idaho after living 10 years in Anderson, Alaska. I grew up in Payette, a town about one hour west of Boise, and when I attended the University of Idaho I knew I wanted to live in Coeur d’Alene someday.

Coeur d’Alene has changed a lot in the 46 years we have lived here. It has seen tough times and good times. I’m writing to encourage you to re-elect Jim Addis as our state representative for District 4, because Jim understands Coeur d’Alene and North Idaho. He’s been here through many of those tough times and the good times too. He is making Idaho a better place.

I appreciate that he listens when I have a question. He’s always trying to communicate with the people he works for and he works hard. I think we are blessed to have the representatives (Paul Amador and Jim Addis) here in District 4. Sometimes, you elect people and it seems like they forget who they represent but we don’t have that here with Jim.

Please join me in voting for Jim Addis for state representative if you live in District 4. He’s done a great job and he deserves another two years.
