Widmyer’s Endorsement

Here's BalanceNI's endorsement of Coeur d'Alene mayoral candidate Steve Widmyer:

"Steve Widmyer will serve Coeur d’Alene well as Mayor.  He is a uniter.  His understanding of the role of Mayor is fundamental.  He is a team player with a humility that is unique considering his personal success as a businessman.  He would have chosen to have a public vote on McEuen, but looks forward to the joy the park will bring the citizens and visitors. He understands economic development, is a fiscal conservative who will always seek efficiency and will continue to promote the best practices to provide taxpayers good return on investment.  This ‘gentleman’ will not walk into city hall with an ego or an agenda.  His priorities beyond conservative fiscal management are jobs and citizen safety."

Question: A uniter rather than a divider. Where have I heard that one before? Do you agree/disagree with this endorsement?
