WAGNER: Trust the firefighters

| October 6, 2021 1:00 AM

We have known Paul Wagner for 35 years. He is a good friend, a neighbor and the godfather of our youngest son.

For the past 11 years, Paul has served this community as Fire Commissioner for Kootenai County Fire and Rescue Sub District 4. While there are many reasons to vote for Paul for Fire Commissioner, one stands out — Paul has received the endorsement of the Kootenai County firefighters.

Most of us are unaware of the inner workings of Kootenai County Fire and Rescue. The people who do know, the people who race into burning buildings, who respond to medical emergencies and work directly with the fire commissioners, are supporting Paul Wagner. If we didn’t know Paul, their endorsement would be all we need. We do know Paul.

We know Paul to be a man of integrity. He is a retired forester. His wife, Sharon, is a retired Post Falls School District elementary teacher. A longtime resident of Post Falls, he and his wife have raised three daughters. They have eight grandchildren, whom we frequently see racing through their backyard. He has been active in the Lion’s Club of Post Falls and has served on long range planning committees for the Post Falls School District.

Paul Wagner is a genuine public servant. Follow the lead of the Kootenai County firefighters and vote for Paul Wagner — Fire Commissioner Sub District 4.
