ELECTION: Vote for Houser

As a former fire commissioner for Kootenai County Fire & Rescue I had the privilege of working with a group of very dedicated and talented people. From the administrative staff to the newest probationary fire fighter to the fire chief I was always impressed. Our community is very fortunate to have an organization such as KCFR there to help us when emergencies arise. During my 10 years as a commissioner, I worked with the other commissioners and all of us came from different backgrounds and experiences that together helped us lead the district forward. Pam Houser was one of them. Pam’s resume is filled with numerous professional and volunteer experiences and after 8 years as a commissioner she has only added to her ability to help lead the district. While I welcome Pam’s opponent to our community, there is no good reason to replace a lifelong, experienced resident of Kootenai County with a relatively newcomer who may not have ideas conducive to the current direction of the fire district. Please vote for the candidate with the most experience as a commissioner.
