DUNCAN: For county commissioner

Please accept this letter as my recommendation supporting Leslie Duncan for Kootenai County Commissioner. Leslie has performed as she campaigned, as a genuine Conservative advocate of limited government. On Tuesday, May 21, I will remember that Leslie keeps her word.

Leslie has the willingness to challenge common assumptions and demand clarity. She has proven quick mastery of the many details involved in daily government operations and a proven ability to work with allies and opponents to cooperate and serve citizens.

Every turning point moment in history has an individual who will not bend with the prevailing tendencies of others but maintains commitment to core values. Kootenai County is at a crossroads, and Leslie Duncan is that fulcrum around which Conservatives can rally to make county government more limited, more frugal and more focused on its proper Constitutional role. We really need more people like her!
