ELECTION: Cheers for these volunteers

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to the many community leaders who have stepped up to run for Kootenai County Republican Precinct Committeeman positions. 

As we all know too well, the destructive actions of the current KCRCC have led to the potential loss of accreditation of our gem, North Idaho College, a chaotic lack of leadership on our Community Library Network board, and the ineffective management of our county assessor’s office. Please be informed as you vote, as our county’s health depends upon a significant change at the precinct level. 

I live in Precinct 415 and my vote is going to Wendy Gabriel, a lifelong Idaho resident who has been a public servant in Kootenai County for over 30 years. I want to publicly thank her for running, as well as the following people who I have known personally over many years, and who exemplify what true community leadership is all about. Please support them: 

Cherish Hansen (202), David Patzer (205), Sue Thilo (313), Suzanne Metzger (402), Pete Erbland (420). Many more dedicated residents are running. You can get their names very easily by going to northidahorepublicans.org. Find out which precinct you live in and who to vote for. You will be taking a big step in the right direction!
