RIGGS: Smart, will listen

I am writing to encourage you to vote for Peter Riggs for the open senate seat in district 3. I’ve known Peter for many, many years and can attest to his intelligence, his devotion to his family and to Idaho, and his conservative principals. He is a smart, capable guy and if you like your politicians to be better listeners than talkers, better problem solvers than conspiracy theorists, better teammates than loners and more favorable to business than to government, Peter is your guy.

Peter is a University of Idaho alumni and his family has been here for generations. I think you can count on him to have a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities that North Idaho faces in the coming decades. His business experience and his skepticism of government solutions will stand us all in good stead. Vote for Peter!
