Amador seeks third term

| March 4, 2020 1:00 AM

Rep. Paul Amador of Coeur d’Alene announced that he will be seeking an additional term for legislative District 4, seat B, Coeur d’Alene and Kootenai County. Amador has represented District 4 in the Idaho Legislature since 2016 as a Republican.

“One of the commitments I made to the people of North Idaho when I first sought office was that I would remain open and accessible as an elected official,” he said.

To honor that commitment, Amador has held over 30 public town hall forums with constituents and attended over 300 community public events during the past four years while in office.

“Listening to my constituents’ concerns is the most important part of my job,” he said. “It is always vital for me to reflect on my title ‘Representative.’ I represent the people of District 4, not just myself.”

Amador has been an advocate for education, family, and economic related issues while in the Legislature. He has helped make new and sustained investments in our educational system, fought for additional protections for Idaho families, and supported returning money to Idaho citizens and businesses in the form of tax cuts.

“Idaho families are the bedrock of what makes Idaho such a great place to live, work, and play; we build strong families in Idaho by ensuring every child has access to great educational opportunities and that individuals and businesses thrive in an environment where government gets out of the way whenever possible,” he said.

Amador is a small business owner in both educational and agricultural enterprises, is a researcher and college faculty member, is a former college administrator, and serves on several community nonprofit boards.

Amador has been married to his wife, Julie, for the past 15 years. They have one son, Peter, who is 2.
