Anne Nesse

A candidate for State Representative, Seat B, Idaho Legislative District 4 in the 2014 Nov. 4 Idaho General Election

Party: Democratic

City: Coeur d’Alene

Occupation: Former teacher

Former teacher and nurse and small-business operator, ran unsuccessfully against Sims two years ago, and since then has become an advocate for raising Idaho’s minimum wage, pushing for a voter initiative and forming the group RaiseIdaho.org. She’s continuing that push, looking at possible city initiatives. Though the measure didn’t receive enough signatures to make this year’s ballot, Nesse said her group learned that there’s widespread support in Idaho for the idea.
