Race for District 1A is no contest

The race for Seat A in Idaho’s District 1 is really not a race at all.

Boundary and Bonner County voters have a simple choice to make. Do we want Rep. Heather Scott, a proven stand-up fighter, representing us or her opponent who is a groaning go-along-to-get-along type not known for independent thinking or being particularly energetic?

Her opponent was nearly booted from his position as the Republican precinct committeeman for Wrenco because he missed nearly 85 percent of the monthly meetings. Only after deciding to run for higher office did his attendance improve.

His biggest endorsement is from the outgoing big-government District 1 senator with the lowest Freedom Index score of the Legislature. Why settle for that?

We are so fortunate to have Rep. Scott fighting for us in Boise on issues from water adjudication, public land, permitless carry to pushing back on aggressive taxing districts and crony capitalism – the list goes on.

It has earned her the highest average Freedom Index score of the Legislature for the past three years. No one else can claim that. Rep. Heather Scott has clearly earned a third term.
