ZAO: We need a doc in the house

| May 9, 2024 1:00 AM

Every once in a great while, a candidate emerges who is head and shoulders above the field, and especially above her opponent. That candidate is Cheri Zao, an Idaho native, reared in Alaska, received her medical training in Texas, and returned to Idaho decades ago to practice medicine.

Cheri is a retired physician, a Republican, and a true believer in individual responsibility, so much so that Cheri wrote Governor Little to refrain from signing H710, for example, which criminalizes the placing of certain books deemed inappropriate for children. Dr. Zao is a mother of two, and grandmother of two, yet fears the heavy hand of government, in this case, the state government, which makes Idaho a more punitive state, especially when added to our recently passed anti-abortion law.
