ELECTION: Vote for Dan Gookin

I highly recommend Dan Gookin to be re-elected to the Coeur d’Alene City Council. Dan has worked hard over the years to save tax dollars for us. I live downtown and see the price of housing go up and our property taxes go up. Dan is the one constant on the City Council that causes every dollar being spent to be justified and worth while.

For the past eight years it has been my honor to serve our community as the Zone 2 representative on the Coeur d’Alene School District Board of Trustees.

ELECTION: Vote for Davis, Saterfiel and McAndrew

I am voting for Alan Davis for Hayden mayor, Roger Saterfiel, Hayden city council and Jimmy McAndrew, Coeur d’Alene School District trustee Zone 2 as they have proven to me they have the experience and best interest in the future of my city and schools.

OPINION: Community colleges and NIC

What was once a place of learning has been hijacked into a playground for politics. Many of us have watched with disappointment as the drama surrounding North Idaho College has played out. This has been a case study in the dangers of electing people who put their own warped views ahead of the needs of the community. A beloved education institution has become a den of divisiveness leaving many to walk away.

North Idaho Republicans endorse local candidates

ELECTION: Vote for Gibbons, Griffin, Schroeder or Cassidy

Many Shoshone News-Press readers will remember my wife and I as longtime residents of Kellogg and the Silver Valley. Five years ago, we chose to move from Kellogg to Coeur d’Alene due to health care concerns and other personal considerations, but we still consider ourselves connected deeply to the people of the Silver Valley and the Kellogg School District.

ELECTION: Vote for Tenbrink

This weekend I met Heather Tenbrink, a conservative, who is running for Coeur d’Alene Public Schools trustee in Zone 3. Ms. Tenbrink was articulate and focused on the needs of our schools and community. Heather is dedicating herself to working toward increasing rigorous academics for our students, parent involvement in our schools, fair and competitive pay for teachers, and working to make the budget easier to understand.

At the Sept. 27 NIC Board of Trustees meeting, Todd Banducci asked the question “If you have the formula on how to buy out a president’s contract, please bring it to me, or bring it to us, OK?.”

ELECTION: Vote for McAndrew

As a recipient of a K-12+ Idaho public education, I will vote for a school board trustee who supports public education and the longevity of SD 271. I have concerns that far-right, ultra-conservative KCRCC-backed candidates will fill school board positions and no longer vote to put levies on future ballots. This would decrease the success of our schools, kids, and community while dismantling decades of work in education.
