ENDORSEMENT: Vote for Hearn

I have known Tom Hearn for over 40 years and have found him to be a great friend, a devoted Christian, and a scrupulously honest person. I am honored to strongly endorse Tom as he is seeking to join the Idaho Legislature as a Senator from District 2.

Tom Hearn has a master’s degree in clinical social work and his career was devoted to mental health counseling. He has volunteered on a variety of local boards and committees and he was appointed to several statewide boards and task forces by 2 different Idaho Attorneys General and 3 different Idaho governors.

Tom Hearn was elected to the Coeur d’Alene School Board in 2013 and the Kootenai School Board after moving to District 2 several years ago. His involvement in these boards demonstrates his ability to work with others to accomplish common goals. Tom’s knowledge of rural Idaho issues and ability to listen to concerns of all constituents to reach common goals sets him apart from his opponent. He believes strongly in a government that helps all its constituents, without regard to partisan politics.

If you are tired of partisan chaos, it’s time to elect a person who will advocate for you in the State legislature. Tom Hearn is a clear choice for State Senator for District 2 and I strongly urge you to join me in electing him.
