ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Marano

We District 4 voters can improve the quality of representation in the Idaho legislature immensely by electing Paula Marano running to be our state representative.

Paula’s many years as an elementary school teacher have informed her service to the community. She has been a leader advocating for our schools and students — in the past through her service on the board of the Cd’A Education Partnership and more recently through service on the Cd’A Regional Chamber of Commerce Education Committee.

In addition to being a strong advocate for public schools, we can expect Paula to show compassion and empathy for women facing difficult decisions regarding their reproductive health.

She also supports innovative judicial programs to benefit veterans, the mentally ill and those suffering from drug and alcohol addiction. And she is committed to maintaining access to public lands by the public.

I hope everyone in District 4 will support Paula to be their next state representative!
